Britain Steamship Co was formed in London in 1884 by Watts, Ward & Co. In 1896 Mr Ward died and the management was renamed Watts, Watts & Co. The company expanded quickly and by 1914 was operating 20 vessels in worldwide tramping. Fourteen vessels were lost to enemy action during the Great War but by 1920 the fleet was back to the pre war level of 20 ships. The company lost ten ships during the second world war and by 1945 owned only six ships. Edmund Watts died in 1962 and the ships were gradually sold off, the last two in 1967. In 1968 the Britain SS Co was sold to Bibby Line.
