The Fleets
Bombay and Persia Steam Navigation Company
/ Mogul Line Ltd.
The Bombay and Persia Steam Navigation Co. was founded
in 1877 and was long managed by Turner Morrison & Co. Ltd, Bombay
and was participating in the Pilgrim trade from the very early days.
In 1939 the Bombay and Persia Steam Navigation Co. was renamed as the
Mogul
Line. In 1960 the Mogul Line became entirely Indian owned and was in
1963 taken over by the Shipping Corporation of India.
