Imperial shipping committee reports hull insurance cuts for Hudson Bay vessels
The fifth report of the Imperial shipping committee notes a reduction in hull insurance rates for 1834 with premiums lowered from 50 to 40 shillings per cent and to 30 shillings if gyro equipment is used. The report forecasts further drops only if no casualties occur, but it signals little chance of extending the navigation season and suggests the bay route may be safer than the St. Lawrence.
