Ben Line Steamers belonged to William Thomson. Its origin is variously given as 1820 and 1919; the document does not reconcile those dates with the group’s 1825 origin. It acquired Sheaf Steam Shipping and Bamburgh Shipping in 1976, participated in Ben Ocean Service from early 1975 and partnered Domino Container Ships. Management was shared at different times among the owners, Atlantic Drilling and Benmarine.
