The Fleets
Canadian Steam Navigation Co.
A short lived company formed in 1853 to operate a mail
and passenger service between Liverpool and Canada / Portland. The operation
was not a success, mostly due to the company attempting to run an exacting
mail service with underpowered steamers and the service ended in March
1855.
Many thanks to Ted Finch for his assistance in collecting this data.
