Today I learnt that in 1904, when Lloyd's of London insured a motorcar for the first time, the car was described as a "ship navigating on land" by the marine underwriters.
This comes courtesy of the interactive history of Lloyd's timeline I found on the Lloyd's website whilst preparing for tomorrow's insurance trainee training session. I'm not sure how useful that factoid will be for the trainees...
