The Fleets
Ryde Line, London
The Ryde Line started in 1870 where the London,
Belgium, Brazil & River Plate SS Co., left off. Sailings to Antwerp, Falmouth,
Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo and Buenos Aires started in 1870.
The company operated until Jan. 1874 but declining passenger numbers
caused the withdrawal of the
service.
