The time has come," said R. B. Jones, ' to talk of many things... of ships and shoes and sealing wax, f 1 1 - "

As the man from R.B. Jones gazes out of his seventeenth story window, he looks down into the New York Seaport

Museum on the shore of the

East River, where vintage ships are being collected for permanent display. His attention is drawn to a large tow slipping silently by, and he reflects with satisfaction that the tugboat and its barge were the subject of intensive discussions a fort- night before when he was working on the renewal of their insurance in London.

This man from R.B. Jones, and all his co-workers, place much of the insurance on the commercial watercraft in the

New York area. He is involved with hulls and cargoes going to and coming from every port in the world, and with as many inland river shipments. He writes insurance on ships, shipyards, and other shore facilities among which is one of the world's largest drydocks.

R.B. Jones offices, which handle every kind of insur- ance written, span the United

States.
