Arthur Forwood
Sir Arthur Bower Forwood, 1st Baronet PC MP (23 June 1836 – 27 September 1898) was an English merchant, shipowner, and politician. He was a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1885 until his death, and in 1895 he was created a baronet.
== Early life and business ==
Forwood was born in Edge Hill, Liverpool, the eldest son of Thomas Brittain Forwood, a merchant, and Charlotte née Bower, the daughter of a cotton broker. He was educated at Liverpool Collegiate and then joined the family business.〔Waller, Philip (2004) '(Forwood, Sir Arthur Bower (1836-1898) )', ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, Retrieved on 25 December 2009. 〕 When his father retired from the business in 1862, he ran it with his younger brother, William. This was at a time when the cotton trade was being disrupted by the American Civil War. The brothers made a fortune "first from wartime speculation and blockade running, and then from exploiting telegraph and cotton futures". They set up offices in New York, New Orleans and Bombay and ran a small fleet of ships that traded in the West Indies, Costa Rica and New York.〔Killick, J. R. (2004) '(Forwood, Sir William Bower (1840-1928) )', ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, Retrieved on 25 December 2009. 〕
