Ralph Watts Leyland was the founder of one of the last major sailing ship companies. Against the late nineteenth century trend, he remained an enthusiastic advocate of sail as a method of transporting low value bulk cargoes, persisting with big iron and steel square-riggers while his rivals converted to steamships. Thus his Liverpool-based shipping line came to own some of the largest and most famous vessels of the age, including the Wavertree, since restored.
