Harrison Line, officially T&J Harrison, was a shipping line founded by the brothers Thomas and James Harrison in Liverpool, England in 1853.[1] It ran both cargo and passenger services, starting with the import of French brandy from Charente.
The ships were grouped under the Charente Steam-ship Company in 1871 with Thomas and James Harrison as the managers.
The company ceased trading in October 2000, with all remaining rights and privileges transferred to P&O Nedlloyd.[1]
