History
Founded on the heritage of the maritime industry bible Lloyd's List, it has a 300-year-old history in providing information to the maritime world. Tracking vessel movements has developed into a global competence since the early days - Lloyd's List got its name back in 1734, when it was a journal listing ship arrival and departures.
Today, Lloyd's List Intelligence brings together the expertise of a global staff of maritime analysts and journalists, with the most extensive system of shore based intelligence gathering to create the complete information support service for the maritime industry.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
