CAXTON
The cargo vessel Caxton was built in 1958 and enjoyed a long career lasting well into the 1980s. Her first owner, Barberry’s Steamship Co, was established in 1940 as a result of the creation of Newsprint Supply Co Ltd by Lord Beaverbrook and others, who sought to guarantee a wartime supply of paper, sourced from Canadian mills, to meet the needs of the press.
