In 1857 the Association of Underwriters & Insurance Brokers in Glasgow , Scotland, formed the Glasgow Underwriters' Committee for the Protection of Commercial Interests as respects Wrecked and Damaged Property .

In 1858 it purchased a second salvage steamer, Glowworm . In 1885 the Committee was incorporated as the Glasgow Association for the Protection of Commercial Interests as respects Wrecked and Damaged Property. Its objects were to protect the interests of owners and underwriters by promoting despatch and economy in the salvage of ships and their cargoes and it was managed by a Committee who employed a staff of surveyors and wreck agents.
