The Fleets
Furness, Withy & Co.
/ British Maritime Trust
In 1890 Robert Stoker, one of the partners in Furness,
Withy & Co. was sent to London to open an office there which he opened
as Christopher Furness & Co. In 1897 the company became known as British
Maritime Trust Ltd and in 1907 the fleet was amalgamated into Furness,
Withy & Co.
