Originally in ship- contains brief details of almost 1500 ships broking, the company bought its first ships in 1844 to carry on its trade with European ports which lasted until the mid-1960s. Since then Gibsons made the transition into the carriage of liguified gas, and then became associated with Anchor Line.
