Greenshields is a well-known shipping name, dating back to John Greenshields who moved from Glasgow to Liverpool in the 1820s.
His son Thomas Edwards Greenshields continued the family business of Greenshields & Co and was later joined by his younger brother Robert Low Greenshields. In 1862 the brothers decided to form two separate companies. Robert continued to trade as Greenshields & Co and his branch survives today as Greenshields Cowie & Co, the forwarding agents.Thomas's company, Greenshields MacDiarmid,continued as shipowners and owned the last sailing ships to sail out of Liverpool until Thomas's death in 1907.
