SHAW SAVILL LINES
[United Kingdom]

Poster reproduced on an Australian stamp (2004)

Shaw Savill Line of London was a shipping company set up to transport both produce and passengers between Great Britain and New Zealand via South Africa and Australia. Robert Edward Shaw and Walter Savill (employees of Willis, Gann and Company, a London ship-broking and chartering firm) set up on their own account in 1858 and began chartering ships. They bought their first ship in 1865. While the trading name, Shaw Savill, remained the same, the partners who owned it changed a number of times. The company, by then a partnership of Walter Savill and James William Temple, agreed in November 1882 to join the Albion line as of 1 January 1883 to form Shaw, Savill & Albion Line.
