Trasatlantica

Company History: The freight service of the company is also thoroughly efficient, the Compania Trasatlantica issuing through bills of lading to all commercial points in the countries to which its excellent service extends. The line, to many of the Spanish- American ports, possesses advantages which are not offered in equal degree by any competing line.
The Compania Trasatlantica operates seven distinct lines, including the New York, Cuba and Mexico service to Barcelona; the line to the Philippine Islands; the line to Venezuela and Colombia the line to Buenos Aires; the line to the Canary Islands; the Brazil-Plata line; and one to the Gulf of Guinea. Except the Brazil-Plata line, all of these lines operate from Barcelona as their base port, that to the Philippines operating between Barcelona, Cadiz, Las Palmas, Cape Town, Durban, Colombo, Singapore, and Manila.
