You could say that ships like the ones you’ll see at the Tall Ships Challenge® Great Lakes 2016 (or like the recently discovered second-oldest confirmed shipwreck in the Great Lakes) and insurance have a history. And what a history it is when you consider that it stretches all the way back to ancient times.
That’s because marine insurance—which covers loss or damage of ships, cargo, terminals and more—is the oldest form of insurance in the world. Check out this slideshow, which sets sail in Greece and continues on to the Roman Empire, Great Britain, colonial America and beyond.
