The final ship built for Harrisons was the Author, completed in December 1980 that was sold to Barclays Mercantile Industrial Finance and renamed Benarmin and placed on a wet boat charter to Ben Line, Harrisons remained managers.
In October 2000 Thos J. Harrison Ltd, on behalf of the Charente Steamship Company, relinquished all rights and privileges in themanagement of the liner trades which were transferred to P&O Nedlloyd and the last vestige of the once great Harrison Line disappeared forever. Thus Harrison Line was another well known British shipping company that disappeared as a result of the container revolution and the changing shipping industry as a result of mergers and consolidation within the shipping industry and globalization. It was truly the end of a glorious era as traditional shipping gave way to containerization.
