J and C Harrison : The History of a Family Shipping Venture

One of London's most successful tramp ship operators, in business from 1887 to 1979.

Particularly successful at playing the market, and buying and selling ships at the right time.

Harrisons' fleet was rebuilt in the 1930s, but suffered grievous war losses, which are fully documented.

A depleted post-war fleet included two bulk carriers and managed coasters.

Few tramp ship companies have been as well documented.
