History

The firm of W K Webster & Co took its current name in 1915, after its erstwhile Partner William King Webster. The firm's origins, however, trace back to pre-1861 when Dr. E. Wendt operated as an Average Agent for German, Belgian and Dutch Marine Underwriters. Dr. Wendt was a well-known figure in international marine insurance circles. He was the author of a textbook on Maritime Law and a leading figure in the introduction of the International Rules governing General Average, established in 1890 as the York Antwerp Rules.
