The Liverpool and Mississippi Steamship Company was founded in 1870. In 1872, the name was changed to Mississippi and Dominion Steamship Company. Originally it was to sail from Liverpool to New Orleans via Bordeaux, Lisbon and Havana. Later a route from Liverpool to Quebec and Montreal was added in the summer. The New Orleans route was abandoned and the Line continued the Canada route and added a Portland, Maine route in the winter. Later a Bristol to Montreal route was also added. All but the
Vancouver
carried livestock.
In the early 1890s the Dominion Line was in financial trouble and on 12th Dec,1894 the business was sold to Richards, Mills & Co., Liverpool who were owners of the
British & North Atlantic S.N. Co.
and it's fleet of five cargo steamers - NORSEMAN (1), ROMAN, OTTOMAN, ANGLOMAN (1) and CAMBROMAN which had been running between Liverpool and Boston under Warren Line management. From 1894 the B & NA and Dominion Line were combined.
In 1902 the International Mercantile Marine Company was formed and acquired the shares of Fredrick Leyland & Co, Dominion Line, American Line, Atlantic Transport Line in 1921 the remaining Dominion ships were transferred to Leyland Line ownership but continued Dominion services under the name White Star - Dominion Line Joint Service. This name disappeared in 1926 to be replaced by White Star Line (Canadian Sevices).         Courtesy The Ships List.
