A Shipping Interest 'Manchester Liners Limited' Mug Made by The Very High End Dunn Bennet & co Ltd Burslem England

Here we have a collectable shipping interest 'Manchester Liners Limited' mug made by the very high end Dunn Bennet & co Ltd Burslem England

Manchester Liners Ltd was formed in 1897 after the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 and as a partner to Furness Withy & Co.

Sailings were mainly to Canada particularly for the cattle trade, but Galveston and New Orleans sailings were also made for the cotton trade to the Lancashire mills. Services to the Great Lakes started in 1952 and in 1970 Manchester Lines became a subsidiary of Furness Withy & Co.

The parent company was taken over by C. Y. Tung, Hong Kong in 1980 and Manchester Liners ceased trading as a seperate entity in 1988. Although mainly a cargo company, many ships had accommodation for a limited number of passengers.

The Mug was made by "Dunn Bennet & co Ltd Burslem England" in 1968 described as the "Minton of the hotel trade" and were acquired by Doulton and Co no less.
