Baltic Exchange
Baltic Exchange an association of companies, based in London, whose members are engaged in numerous international trading activities, especially the chartering of vessels to carry cargo. The name comes from Virginia and Baltic, one of many coffee houses where shipowners and merchants met in London in the 18th century, the coffee house being so named by association with areas of much of the trade. In April 1992, the Baltic Exchange building in London was seriously damaged by an IRA bomb.
