The Shipping News

The Shipping News is a 2001 drama film directed by Lasse Hallström, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Shipping News" by Annie Proulx.
Lloyd's Coffee House was a coffee shop in London opened by Edward Lloyd (c. 1648–15 February 1713) originally on Tower Street, in 1686.
 The establishment was a popular place for sailors, merchants and shipowners, and Lloyd catered to them with reliable shipping news.
 The shipping industry community frequented the place to discuss maritime insurance, shipbroking and foreign trade.
 The dealing that took place led to the establishment of the insurance market Lloyd's of London, Lloyd's Register and several related shipping and insurance businesses.
