About
George Thompson (1804–1895) was a politician and ship-owner. They were born in Woolwich. They studied at Aberdeen Grammar School. They served as member of the 16th Parliament of the United Kingdom.
In context
Aberdeen Line was founded in 1825 and closed in 1957, after 132 years. Among the 24 other shipping line companies we hold, those that closed lasted a median of 91 years, so this one outlasted most of them.
