 Fabre
Line / Compagnie Francaise de Navigation
a Vapeur Cyprien Fabre & Compagnie
In 1881 the Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur Cyprien Fabre &
Compagnie was formed. They had been shipowners since 1865 of a small fleet
of sailing ships and, since 1871, of some small steamers, mostly in the
Mediterranean trade. Fabre Line ran a service between Marseilles and the
West Indies and Central America from 1878-1881. The service was withdrawn
in 1881 and North and South America sailings substituted. New Orleans
voyages were made from 1887 until 1903. South America service was withdrawn
in 1905. New York passenger sailings were discontinued in 1934, thereafter
cargo only was carried. In 1933, the name was changed to Compagnie Generale
de Navigation a Vapeur.
