| Summary: | Published as part of their 60th anniversary celebrations, this record of the marine transportation company Furness, Withy & Company, Limited describes the history of the business, from its inception in 1891 to 1951. The company was initially an amalgamation of two others, which meant that now one firm would be building, repairing, and operating steamships. The later addition of a marine engineering company meant that virtually every aspects of shipping, from planning and building the ships, to shipping cargo and people, would now be possible in house. The firm had offices worldwide, with one located in St. John's, as the company operated sailing between New York, Halifax, St. John's, and St. Pierre.
