On 3 September 1812, a groundbreaking innovation in food preservation emerged in London, England, with the opening of the world's first commercial cannery by the partnership of Bryan Donkin, John Hall, and John Gamble.
This pioneering establishment was designed to supply preserved food to the Royal Navy, marking a significant advancement in ensuring the availability of nutritious provisions for sailors during extended voyages.
By utilising the recently developed method of sealing food in airtight tin cans, the cannery revolutionised naval logistics and laid the foundation for modern food preservation, changing the way the world consumed and stored food.
