Compagnie Nationale de Navigation

Compagnie Nationale de Navigation was founded 1879 to provide services between Marseilles and French Indo-China. In 1886 they commenced Marseilles - Naples - New York sailings with occasional calls at other Mediterranean ports. Between 1887 and 1891 they also made several sailings to South America. The New York service continued irregularly until 1896 when they withdrew the service. The company ceased trading in 1904.
