The Fleets
Hamburg South American Line / Hamburg-Sudamerikanische
Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft
 Founded 1871 and commenced operating from Hamburg via Lisbon to Bahia, Rio
de Janeiro and Santos, later extended to the River Plate. In 1900 an express
passenger service direct to the River Plate was opened and the company also
ran services to Central America in conjunction with Hamburg
America Line as
well as a New York to Brazil route. Deprived of it's ships after the end of
WWI, the company resumed operating with three cargo schooners until 1921 when
they acquired a steamship and then gradually rebuilt their fleet. By the outbreak
of WWII the company owned 56 ships, but these were either all lost during the
war or confiscated afterwards. Under the terms of the Potsdam Treaty, the company
was unable to restart activities until 1951 when they resumed cargo/passenger
services to South America. By the mid 1960s the expansion of air travel caused
the company to concentrate mostly on cargo ships, some of which carried a few
passengers.
