The family came from Ithaca and Cephalonia and opened a London office in the late nineteenth century. Steamship ownership is dated from 1883, with several named family interests appearing in the registers. Part of Anthony D. Stathatos’s fleet later appears under Seafarers Investments. Shipowning apparently ceased after the last entries, but the London concern continued as agents and brokers; a later account also credits it with managing Parthenon in 1987–1988.
Agency relationships included Stavros Coumantaros, Mrs G.N. Stathatos and others, Mid-Pacific, Poros and Seafarers Investments. Mitchell also associates South Venture with South Shipping of Gibraltar, without explaining that company’s connection to Mid-Pacific or Stathatos.
Roumania, Ibrail or Braila; later Greece, Athens, and UK, London.
