When
John L. Wortham and his son, Gus Wortham, opened their insurance
brokerage nearly a century ago, some of their first clients
were shipping firms that transported cotton, grains and
other goods via ships to ports across the U.S. and Europe. Throughout
the Company’s history, we have continued to serve the marine and inland
marine industry. Today, Wortham is recognized as one of the premier marine
insurance brokerages in the southern U.S.
