The FleetsLigure
Brasiliana, Genoa
Ligure Brasiliana was founded in Genoa in 1897 to run services from Italy
to Brazil, Amazon ports and later to the River Plate. The Amazon ports service
was abandoned in 1903. The
company made one Genoa - Naples - New York voyage with the RIO AMAZONAS in 1903.
In
1913 Hamburg America Line bought the
entire share capital of the company and in 1914 the name was changed to Transatlantica
Italiana Societa Anonima di Navigazione (see Transatlantica
Italiana).
