Tessyman family, seaweed farmers, Dartmouth, Devon
The end product of George Tessymans seaweed farming, processed in his attic laboratory. It is agar-agar, a jelly-like substance used in the manufacture of such diverse products as jelly desserts, salad dressings, laxatives, oil-drawing lubricants, toothpaste and cosmetics. Georges interest in seaweed was first sparked while he was serving in the Royal Navy, and the Tessymans were the first people in Britain to harvest seaweed as a means of enhancing food production.
