==History== The earliest form of ''Lloyd's List'' was estimated by some to have begun by 1692. One historian, Michael Palmer, wrote that: "No later than January 1692, Lloyd began publishing a weekly newsletter, ‘Ships Arrived at and Departed from several Ports of England, as I have Account of them in London... [and] An Account of what English Shipping and Foreign Ships for England, I hear of in Foreign Ports’".<ref>{{citation | publisher = Mariners-L | place = UK | url = http://www.mariners-l.co.uk/ResLloydsList.html | title = Lloyd's List}}.</ref> Around that time, ''Lloyd’s News'' was published three times a week with no particular emphasis on shipping from 1696 to 1697.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}} However, claims that ''Lloyd's List'' is the oldest continuously published newspaper in the world are disputed. The [[World Association of Newspapers]] lists several earlier, extant titles.<ref>{{citation|publisher=WAN Press |url=http://www.wan-press.org/article2823.html |title=Oldest newspapers still in circulation |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040107070325/http://www.wan-press.org/article2823.html |archive-date=7 January 2004 }}.</ref> Thomas Jemson inherited Lloyd's Coffee House in 1727 and founded the ''Lloyd's List'' that is known today when he launched a weekly shipping intelligence publication. Publication was weekly until March 1735, then twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays, according to Palmer.{{fact|date=March 2021}} In 1769, the coffee house moved to Pope's Head Alley and from there, the New ''Lloyd’s List'' began, according to Lloyd's Register.{{fact|date=March 2021}} The paper was published every day except Sundays from 1 July 1837. In July 1884, ''Lloyd's List'' merged with the ''Shipping and Mercantile Gazette''. ''Lloyd's List'' has spawned several spin-off titles, including sister title ''Insurance Day''. In 2009, ''Lloyd's List'' went through a major re-design that encompassed both the masthead and the newspaper itself. Between 2011 and 2017, a ''Lloyd’s List'' operated a mobile [[Applications software|app]].<ref>{{cite web|title=New App for World's Longest Published Business Newspaper|url=http://informa.com/media/press-releases-news/latest-news/new-app-for-worlds-longest-published-business-newspaper/|website=Informa.com|access-date=23 February 2017}}</ref> Beginning in 2013, ''Lloyd's List'' was published in digital format only, as it was found that fewer than 2% of customers used the print version.<ref name="digital">{{cite web |url=https://www.lloydslist.com/ll/incoming/article429827.ece |title=Lloyd's List set to become a totally digital service on 20 December 2013 |newspaper=- Lloyd's List |date=25 September 2013 |access-date= 7 May 2016}}</ref> In 2022, [[Informa]] sold ''Lloyd's List'' to [[Montagu Private Equity]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/business/world-famous-lloyd-s-list-sold-by-informa-as-part-of-ps385-million-deal-b1016619.html|title=World famous Lloyd's List sold by Informa as part of £385 million deal|first=Mark|last=Banham|date=4 August 2022|website=Evening Standard}}</ref> The business was then reorganised as Maritime Insights & Intelligence Limited.
