Description:
Arthur Anderson was a founding father of P&O. Brodie McGhie Willcox employed him as a Clerk in 1815 but within a few years he and Willcox were partners, together founding the “Peninsular Steam Navigation Company”. Known for his imagination and foresight, Anderson was instrumental in P&O's success. Like Willcox, he became an MP, proudly representing the Shetland Islands where he was born in 1792.
