What was the name of one of the original ships that appeared on the packaging of Old Spice?
Old Spice is an American brand of male grooming products encompassing deodorants and antiperspirants, shampoos, body washes, and soaps. It is manufactured by Procter & Gamble.
Originally launched as Early American Old Spice by William Lightfoot Schultz's soap and toiletries company, Shulton Inc., in 1937, it was first targeted to women, with the men's product only being released before Christmas at the end of that year. Over time as the men's products found more success it began to focus exclusively on those. Old Spice now sells male grooming products including antiperspirant/deodorant sticks and body wash.
The men's products were dominated by shaving soap and aftershave lotion, marketed with a nautical theme. Sailing ships in particular were used for the brand's packaging. The original ships used on the packaging were the "Grand Turk" and the "Friendship". Other ships used on Old Spice packaging include the "John Wesley", "Salem", "Birmingham", "Maria Teresa", "Propontis", "Recovery", "Sooloo", "Star of the West", "Constitution", "Java", "United States", and "Hamilton".
