Nathaniel Atcheson (1772-1825) was an English ship-owner who was appointed secretary to a Committee of London shipowners and the Society of Ship-Owners of Great Britain with whom the London Committee was associated. [1]
Atcheson formed the London Pitt Club in 1793 with a view to counteract the radical ideas of the French Revolution. [2]
Ship building research
In 1806 he started conducted research on ship-builders in London with the help of Charles Jenkinson. [3] He wrote to a number of ship builders to enquire how many ships they had built since December 1802.
