The Society of Merchant Venturers is a charitable organisation in the English city of Bristol. The society can be traced back to a 13th-century guild which funded the voyage of John Cabot to Canada. In 1552, it gained a monopoly on sea trading from Bristol from its first royal charter. For centuries it had almost been synonymous with the government of Bristol, especially Bristol Harbour. In recent times, the society's activities have centred on charitable agendas.

  • Общество торговых предпринимателей (англ. Society of Merchant Venturers) — это благотворительная организация в английском городе Бристоль. Общество можно проследить вллоть до гильдии XIII века, которая финансировала путешествие Джона Кэбота в Канаду, что фактически ознаменовало начало Британской империи. Общество и его первая Королевская хартия в 1552 году в течение многих веков была фактически синонимом правительства Бристоля, особенно Бристольской гавани. В последнее время деятельность общества была сосредоточена на благотворительных программах. (ru)
