Blue Anchor Line

Blue Anchor Line was a British shipping company operating between the United Kingdom, South Africa and Australia between 1870 and 1910.

[1] The Blue Anchor Line was founded in London by Wilhelm Lund (born Denmark 1837,[2] died Kent, 1928)[3] in 1869.

[1] Ships operated by this company include Yeoman,[5] Waratah, Commonwealth, Bungaree,[6] Culgoa, Geelong,[7] Wilcannia, Narrung, and Wakool.

An inquiry was held in London to investigate the disappearance of the Waratah, and FW Lund Jr., who gave evidence at the inquiry on behalf of the owners,[11] was described in some newspaper reports as the chairman of directors of the company,[12] although it appears to have actually been a partnership, in which Wilhelm Lund was still the senior partner.
