Anchor Line (steamship company) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anchor Line (steamship company) The Anchor Line was a Scottish steamship company, from 1855 to 1980. == Background == The Anchor Line shipping company grew from small beginnings in tandem with the River Clyde shipbuilding industry as the Glasgow river was transformed. During the era of nineteenth century rapid industrialisation the Clyde changed from a shallow meandering river into one of the industrialised world's greatest ports and a hub of shipbuilding and marine engineering expertise. From the 1880s until the 1940s the company was famous for its sleek ships and for the comfort it offered its travellers at a very affordable cost. While not as large or famous as Cunard or P & O, the Anchor Line built up a reputation for value and became well known for employing some of the finest marine artists of the day to create its beautiful posters. It also played on its Scottish roots and employed Scottish crew and cabin crew, advertising 'Scottish ships and Scottish crew for Scottish passengers'.
