The CapyTube Merch Store Proudly Presents:

Why Are So Many U.K. Businesses Named “Lloyd?”

If you were the owner of a 120,000 ton Panamax cargo ship, you'd have your vessel listed in the Lloyd's Register.

And if you were flying on an airplane tomorrow, that plane would likely to have a Lloyd's of London insurance policy.

Are these two “Lloyd's” connected?

Yes...

Lloyd's Register, Lloyd's of London, Lloyd's List, and Hapag-Lloyd all share one commonality...

They are named after Lloyd's Coffee House, a popular meeting place during the 17th and 18th century. Merchants, sailors, and shipowners would gather for cup of hot brew and then talk business.

Fortunes were made over steaming mugs of coffee.

Coffee, and caffeine in general, are known for facilitating mental stimulation. And some historians argue a direct link between coffee consumption and the Age of Enlightenment.

Whether you're building your empire or relaxing with a good book, CapyTube's "Capybara Zodiac Mugs" are a great way to enjoy your hot beverage of choice!
