- John Marshall Shipowner, Lloyd’s reformer and emigration agent by Elizabeth Rushen ISBN/ISSN: 9780648061663 This book tells the story of the most active emigration agent of the nineteenth-century: John Marshall. Marshall’s work also sought to improve maritime safety through Lloyd’s Register of Shipping. A brilliant strategist, Marshall instigated a review of the classification of ships and the merger of the red and green registers used by Lloyd’s shipowners and underwriters. He later established Britain’s first emigration depot at Plymouth.
