Bristol Finish Traditional Amber Urethane originated over 20 years ago, when our company founders grew frustrated with trying to keep a varnish finish on antique and classic yachts in the tropics. They thought that there must be a better way than constant refinishing every three months. Also, the labor required took forever - one coat per day, and the weather (of course) never cooperated. So, take a chemical engineer with a passion for antique wood yachts, and life in the tropics - these frustrations, not to mention a bit of laziness, led to many years of experimentation and testing. The result? The finest exterior wood coating that is available today - Bristol Finish Traditional Amber Urethane.

August 1861, Ritchie received an order from the US Navy for 26 compasses, 10 of which were liquid filled Ritchie began selling compasses under the name E.S. Ritchie & Co. 1867, The company name was changed to E.S. Ritchie & Sons. 1900, By this year, Ritchie had sold over 30,000 compasses to merchant vessels based upon the performance of his instruments and without the benefit of ever advertising. 1910, Louis A. Sherman founded the Marine Compass Company and concentrated on producing smaller instruments for commercial and fishing vessels as well as the emerging yachting markets. 1951, Marine Compass Company purchased E.S. Ritchie & Sons. The two companies consolidated all operations under the name E.S. Ritchie and Sons and is still owned by the Sherman Family. The company is currently owned by Paul Sherman, grandson of Louis A. Sherman. 1950s, Ritchie capitalized on technology that was developed during World War II. Spherical bowls, internal gimbals, jeweled pivot systems and lightweight aluminum dials were all developed to make the compasses more stable and accurate. 1960s, Acrylic domes were developed to replace glass, and high-strength plastics replaced metal castings. These new materials helped to create compasses that were stronger and lighter. 1990s, to present, Ritchie has developed many products for expanding markets.
