DIFFERENT CRUISE LINES AND SHIPPING COMPANIES
DESCRIPTION -- From the Blue Funnel Line this is an early colour postcard from the Bibby Line vessel the Ascanius which is in a very good condition and is unused.
[ONLY 1 AVAILABLE]
CONDITION -- Very Good
HISTORY -- The Blue Funnel Line was formed by the visionary Alfred Holt, who saw the steamship as a better and more economical way of shipping cargo and passengers to the Far East, China and later Australia. Alfred Holt commenced ship-owning with Thomas Ainsworth in 1852, and they built their first new ship in 1854, which they immediately chartered to the French Government for use in the Crimean War. In 1864, they began sailing to China and the Far East, and have since become the major British company serving this area.
