The Lutine Bell in the Underwriting Room at Lloyd's of London, 1933, (1935). Creator: Unknown.
The Lutine Bell in the Underwriting Room at Lloyd's of London, 1933, (1935). The SS 'L'Atlantique' was insured by Lloyd's for almost £1,000,000. In 1933, the liner caught fire off the coast of France and was considered a total loss. There was a long debate between the owners and insurers, eventually resulting in the payment of US$ million to Compagnie de Navigation Sud Atlantique for the loss.
