The Fleets
Koninklijke
Hollandsche Lloyd
(Royal Holland Lloyd)
Founded in 1899 to carry cattle and cargo between
Amsterdam and South America. The cattle trade ceased in 1903 when
the British Government prohibited the import of live cattle due
to the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Argentina and in 1906
the company started emigration voyages from Amsterdam to Buenos
Aires with calls at Boulogne, Plymouth, Coruna, Lisbon, Las Palmas,
Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Santos and Montevideo. Between
1917 and 1919 the company also made a few calls at New York. Passenger
services ceased after 1935, but the company continued to run a
cargo service to South America and is now incorporated in the NEDLLOYD
group.
