Unreferenced date December 2008 The AfricanSteamshipCompany was a UK British shipping line in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was founded in the middle of the 19th century by Macgregor Laird , the younger son of the shipbuilder William Laird shipbuilder William Laird , and based in Birkenhead . The main focus of the company at first was trading with the Niger River area and other west African ports, bringing west African palm oil back to Britain. The monthly mail steamer to the then Gold Coast British colony Gold Coast now Ghana , appointed by Royal Charter , came with a subsidy of 30,000 pounds sterling per year from the British government , starting from 1852. The company proved sufficiently successful that in 1869 a rival company, the British and African Steam Navigation Company, was founded, but both companies later came to an arrangement on sailing times. The business of the AfricanSteamshipcompany was purchased by Elder, Dempster and Company, Limited in 1891, who had bought the British and African Steam Navigation Company two years earlier, although both companies continued operating as distinct organisations. Further expansion began with a transatlantic crossing transatlantic route using large cargo vessels, trading from Liverpool to the St Lawrence River and from Liverpool to the southern ports of the USA . A later route from Bristol to St Lawrence was also established. The company also diversified into a number of businesses related to the trade, including a bank, oil mills for processing the palm oil, a hotel in Grand Canary for tourists, and a fruit brokerage in London to deal with the banana trade. Trade with the West Indies began in 1901, with a direct, fortnightly service from Avonmouth to Jamaica , subsidised by the Colonial Office . As part of Elder Dempster, the company was bought by Sir Owen Philipp s Royal Mail Group in 1909. Category Defunct shipping companies of the United Kingdom ... more details

The Los Angeles SteamshipCompany or small LASSCO small was a passenger and freight shipping company based in Los Angeles , California . The company, formed in 1920, initially provided fast passenger service between Los Angeles and San Francisco . In 1921, small LASSCO small added service to Hawaii in competition with the San Francisco based Matson Navigation Company using two former North German Lloyd ocean liner s that had been in United States Navy U.S. Navy service during World War I . Despite the sinking of one of the former German liners on her maiden voyage for the company, business in the booming 1920s thrived, and the company continued to add ships and services. The worsening economic conditions in the United States, and the burning of another ship in Hawaii, caused financial problems for the company. After beginning talks in 1930, the Los Angeles SteamshipCompany was taken over by Matson Navigation on January 1, 1931, but continued to operate as a subsidiary until it ceased operations in 1937.

The company is owned by the General American Transportation Corporation GATX . History The American SteamshipCompany was founded in 1907 in Buffalo, New York by partners John J. Boland and Adam E. Cornelius . Their first ship, the SS Yale SS Yale was the first steel vessel owned by a Buffalo firm and earned large profits for the partners. Over the next five years, the company added six new vessels to their fleet. At the end of World War I , the American SteamshipCompany became the first Great Lakes steamshipcompany to outfit all of its vessels with Wireless telegraphy radio telegraph equipment. ASC acquired the Mitchell SteamshipCompany in 1922, thus adding another four vessels to its growing fleet. ASC was hard hit by the Great Depression in the United States Great Depression , but took advantage of the downturn to convert three of its bulk freighters to self unloading vessels, which would prove to be the way of the future in Great Lakes shipping. In the 1940s, self unloaders would bring new business to ASC, and the focus of the company would ship from transporting iron ore and grain to shipping coal and limestone . During World War II , ASC was active in the war effort, at one point having twenty ships engaged in war trades around the world. The company embarked on a major expansion in the 1950s, though the company continued to be run by Boland and Cornelius and their sons. By 1965, ASC s annual volume exceeded 20 million tons, and the company again launched an expansion effort. In 1967, the firm acquired the Oswego Shipping Company.

Organization and operations The company was first organized in 1867 under the name of Goodall, Nelson and Perkins. The company s chief rival was the Pacific Mail SteamshipCompany . The competition was settled in January 1875, with Goodall, Nelson and Perkins buying six side wheel steamships from Pacific Mail, as well as certain wharves. Goodall Nelson and Perkins would form a new company to handle the traffic between San Diego and San Francisco, while Pacific Mail would control the routes from Central America and those north of San Francisco. The new company, Goodall, Nelson & Perkins SteamshipCompany was formed in February 1875. Less than a year later Christopher Nelson retired and the remaining partners reorganized, on October 17, 1876, as the Pacific Coast SteamshipCompany, providing service to twenty ports in California. The company later expanded to operate on routes to Portland, Oregon , Seattle , and Alaska , owning a number of steamships. The company also briefly conducted operations in Puget Sound , running two steamers on the route from Seattle to Bellingham, Washington Bellingham . Termination The company effectively ceased business in 1916 when its vessels were purchased by the Admiral Line .

The Joy SteamshipCompany also the Joy Line was an independent steamship line operating in the Long Island Sound in the early decades of the 20th century. It was named for its owner Allan Joy . Founded in 1899, the Joy Line initially competed with the New Haven Railroad for transport between New York City and the ports of New England . By 1902, the New Haven had pressured other steamship lines not to lease their ships to the Joy for example, by offering free annual passes along their rail to captains refusing Joy offers and offered to carry American Sugar Refining Company American Sugar for almost nothing rather than allow the Joy to benefit from its traffic. In consequence, the Joy was forced to a traffic agreement, raising its rates to equivalence with the railroad s and limiting itself to local trade between New York and Providence, Rhode Island . The entrance of the Enterprise Line along the same route led the New Haven to purchase the Joy Line in December, 1905. The competition featured in the Sherman Antitrust Act antitrust case against the New Haven in 1915. ref http query.nytimes.com mem archive free pdf?res 9F04E4D9133FE233A25756C0A9679D946496D6CF Joy Line Crushed by New Haven.

The American Hawaiian SteamshipCompany was founded in 1899 to carry cargos of sugar from Hawaii to the United States and manufactured goods on return trips. Brothers in law George Dearborn and Lewis Henry Lapham were the key players in founding the company. At the time of the company s founding, its steamships sailed around South America via the Straits of Magellan to reach East Coast of the United States East Coast ports. By 1907 the company began using the Tehuantepec Route. Shipments on the Tehuantepec Route would arrive at Mexico Mexican ports Salina Cruz Salina Cruz, Oaxaca , for eastbound cargo, and Coatzacoalcos , Veracruz for westbound cargo and would traverse the Isthmus of Tehuantepec on the Tehuantepec National Railway . When American political troubles with Mexico closed that route, American Hawaiian returned to the Straits of Magellan route. When the Panama Canal opened for traffic in August 1914, American Hawaiian began routing all of its ships via this route. The temporary closure of the canal because of a series of landslides forced the company to return to the Straits of Magellan route for the third time in its history. In World War I , twelve of the company s ships were ship commissioning commissioned into the United States Navy a further five were sunk by submarines or mines during the conflict. Roger Dearborn Lapham , a future mayor of San Francisco, California , served as company president in the mid 1920s. In World War II , the company operated many Liberty ship s and Victory ship s under the War Shipping Administration , including the SS Daniel Boone Daniel Boone , the John Milledge , the John Drake Sloat , the Benjamin Goodhue and the Chanute Victory .
