vathek Posts: 966 Registered: Jun 99	posted 10-07-2003 07:43 AM [01-1243] I have a silver plate Gorham jug with the monogram "Kennard". I have found some vague hints that this may have been a 19c steamship line. Has anyone heard of this firm? Thanks IP: Logged
wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 10-07-2003 10:59 AM Are you thinking of the Cunard Steamship line? IP: Logged
vathek Posts: 966 Registered: Jun 99	posted 10-07-2003 01:14 PM That would seem logical, but for a brief reference to the Kennard line and how it was part of events that brought about the end of the era of trans-atlantic sail, but that's about the only reference to it I can find. IP: Logged
Arg(um)entum Posts: 304 Registered: Apr 2002	posted 10-07-2003 03:17 PM Is this the vague hints you found? In 50 years, along came the Kennard Line - the Trans-Atlantic Service which the sailing ships could never do. All of the great houses of sail disappeared. I think Wev is right - Cunard is the one who put sail out of business. Just another guy dictating to his secretary and not proofreading the result. IP: Logged
