If #Bristol is looking for a hero to replace the incorrigible slave owner #Colston, they could do worse than #Plimsoll. The line he invented is on every cargo ship in the world. He was even used as figurehead by the Aberdeen and White Star Line as a bowsprit on their revolutionary iron clipper the Samuel Plimsoll.
