what's the name

[janeevans]

1) What's the name given to a set of load lines for different waters and conditions required by the Merchant Navy Shipping Act 1876?
2) Which well known British Steamship Co. was registered in March 1900 amalgamating 2 previous rival companies?

Thanks for any help

2) Union-Castle Line?

(properly known as Union Castle Mail Steamship Co. Ltd.) was formed March 1900 from the Union Steamship Co. and the Castle Line of Donald Currie & Co.

1) definitely Plimsoll
