Technically, it's not considered to be a company but a corporate body of 94 syndicates or 'Names', as they are called. It was founded in a City coffee house in 1688 where merchants bought insurance for their ships. The Lutine Bell was reported to have been rung when the Titanic sank in 1912, as has been done for all other ships lost or missing since 1799. In the eighties and nineties Lloyd's was shown to be at risk itself and in fact incurred gigantic losses due to asbestos claims flooding the market. It was announced recently that Lloyd's has opened offices in China and Dubai where the insurance market is much less developed than Britain.
