Origin of Lloyds Humble Beginning of Europe Great Maritime Agency
Two centuries ago a man with a cargo to send to the Mediterranean devised a plan with a friend to share risk. They drafted a contract and the guarantor subscribed, marking the first underwriting. They met at Lloyds coffee house in London, where merchants gathered to discuss business and gossip. The scheme grew as others saw advantage, and risks were spread among more patrons, giving rise to a vast European maritime agency that now paints risks and rivals at ports worldwide. Emil Sondetrof, a Ballard express man, is declared insane with delusions including ownership of the Panama Canal, and a mania for destruction without intent to kill.
