It was formed from the merger of the Union Line and Castle Shipping Line. It merged with Bullard King and Clan Line in 1956 to form British & Commonwealth Shipping, and then with South African Marine Corporation in 1973 to create International Liner Services, but maintained its separate identity throughout. Its shipping operations ceased in 1977.

CONDITION -- Excellent
HISTORY -- Windermere is famous for its 'Great White Birds' - the steamers of the company are named TERN, TEAL, SWAN and SWIFT. The term 'steamer' is a slight misnomer however because all the ships are now diesel powered although there is a move afoot to reconvert one of them back to steam power by the new managers - The Windermere Iron Steamboat Company. The TERN and SWIFT were built for steam power in 1891 and 1900 respectively. The TEAL and SWAN in 1936 and 1938.

DESCRIPTION -- This item is from The Royal Tournament and is a very early white Royal Naval T-Shirt. It is in a very good condition and the size is believed to be small to medium (there is no size attached).
[ONLY 1 AVAILABLE]
CONDITION -- Very Good
HISTORY -- The precise origins of the Tournament are not exactly clear however tradition suggests that the idea originated at the National Rifle Association meetings on Wimbledon Common in the 1870's. The meets attracted volunteers from across the Victorian Army. Although stories of a Military Tournament held to entertain the competitors at Wimbledon had been mooted for years, contemporary newspapers do not record such an event. However, it is known that sports meetings were held at Wimbledon to amuse the troops during the period between the end of the shooting and the prize giving.
