Maritimos do Estado / Portuguese State Steamship Line
In 1916 Portugal seized German ships lying in Portuguese ports and between 1919 and 1921
made a few passenger crossings between Lisbon, Azores and Boston / New York. Two of the
1921 voyages also called at New Bedford, Mass. with passengers. The service ceased in 1921.
