Chapter 5 in The Blue Funnel Legend, 1990, pp 83-116 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In previous chapters we have seen how the Holt enterprise expanded after 1865 as new trades were steadily introduced, and we have seen, too, how critically important was the relationship built up between Blue Funnel and the various overseas agents. Beginning as a small-scale venture trading between Liverpool and China, the service widened at both ends, and by 1918 a world-wide network had come into being, served by a large modern fleet built to exacting standards.
