About
James MacQueen (1778–1870) was a geographer and banker. They were born in South Lanarkshire.
In context
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was founded in 1839 and closed in 1985, after 146 years. Among the 43 other water transport companies we hold, those that closed lasted a median of 78 years, so this one outlasted most of them.
