Description

T & J. Harrison's Iron Ship Philiosopher (sic) passing Holyhead on her maiden voyage to India, 19 June 1857

Thomas Harrison (1815-1888) was apprenticed to the firm of Samuel Brown & Son & Co, Shipbrokers of Liverpool in 1830. James Harrison (1821-1891) joined Samuel Brown in 1838, and in 1839 Thomas became a partner in the firm. In 1849 James became a full partner and by this time the firm's main activity was the importation into Liverpool of brandy and wine from the town of Cognac and the valley of the River Charente, France.

Upon George Brown's death in 1853, the Harrisons took over the business under the name of Thos. & Jas. Harrison. In 1857 they bought their first iron hulled sailing ship, the Philosopher and the firm began the tradition of naming their ships after trades and professions. In 1862 they successfully started sending sailing ships to India, the Far East and to Central and South America, with regular sailings being advertised in 1863.

The author died in 1859, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
