The Plimsoll Line Shopping Bag

Samuel Plimsoll, MP, is remembered for his safe load waterline mark, introduced to prevent unscrupulous shipping owners from overloading their ships and so taking excessive risks with the lives of their crews. It is now found on all commercial ships worldwide. This 100% organic cotton shopping bag is printed with a Plimsoll Line design so that you can see at a glance whether you are dangerously overloaded on your way back from the shops! Measures 38x42cm, with design on one side and plain on the reverse.
