The Fleets
Società Veneziana di Navigazione a Vapore
Founded in 1898 in Venice to operate services to India
and the Far East. The first ships entered service in 1900 and the initial
service was to Calcutta and in 1914 the route was extended to China and
Japan. 1915 the whole fleet was requisitioned for mainly North Atlantic
service. In 1926 a subsidiary company, Società di Navigazione 'San Marco'
was formed in partnership with Lloyd
Triestino. By 1936, after the depression,
the services to India and the Far East had ceased and in 1937 the fleet
was divided. Two ships were transferred to Italia
Soc. di Nav., the remainder
placed with Lloyd
Triestino and Soc.Veneziana di Nav. was liquidated.
