Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Sea Containers grew from a 1965 cargo-container leasing business into hotels, railways and ferry services. Its far-reaching story includes the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, relaunched in 1982, and Great North Eastern Railway, alongside the transfer of its remaining maritime interests in 2009. This hoodie or sweatshirt offers a relaxed way to celebrate a company that connected shipping with memorable travel ventures. A fitting choice for transport-history collectors, railway fans and admirers of corporate stories.
Sea Containers was established in 1965 by James Sherwood, a Yale graduate and former United States Navy officer, with initial capital of $100,000. Registered in Bermuda, it began by leasing cargo containers to shipping companies. It became a public company in 1968 and joined the New York Stock Exchange in 1974. Over the following decades, the business diversified into hotels, railways and ferry services. Sherwood’s hotel purchases helped create the Orient-Express Hotels chain, in which Sea Containers retained a stake until 2005. He also arranged the restoration of 1920s rail carriages for the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, relaunched in 1982. In 1996, subsidiary Great North Eastern Railway began operating the InterCity East Coast rail franchise; a new franchise awarded in 2005 required payments to the British state rather than subsidies. Financial setbacks and heavy debt preceded Sherwood’s resignation in March 2006. Sea Containers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 16 October 2006. The remaining maritime container interests transferred to newly created SeaCo Ltd in 2009, while the rest of the group was wound down and liquidated.
