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.
