Westcott & Laurence

Started in the shipping business in 1867 when they purchased their first steamer under the ownership of Westcott & Houseden. In 1871 Robert Houseden died and the company became Westcott & Laurence. 1901 the fleet was sold to J. R. Ellerman who became chairman, with the proviso that the management remain in London untouched. At the time of sale in 1901, the fleet comprised nine ships which are included in the Ellerman & Papayanni fleet - AVOCA, CEDARDENE, GULF OF SUEZ, JOSHUA NICHOLSON, ORCHIS, ORESTES, PERIM, PLYMOTHIAN and TENEDOS.
