History
Lloyd's of London is a well-known insurance company. In the nineteenth century it was one of the principal insurers of vessels for Great Britain and the colonies. Each vessel that was to be insured was minutely surveyed as to materials and construction to ensure that it met the company's specifications and safety regulations. These surveys were undertaken while the vessel was under construction and following repairs. Reports recommending classification were returned to Lloyd's where they were maintained and updated.
