It may sound like a name a communist government would have chosen, but this shipping line was founded well before that time, in 1871 as a joint venture between the International Navigation Company of Philadelphia, which also ran the American Line, and the Société Anonyme de Navigation Belgo-Américaine of Antwerp, Belgium. The main ports of call were Antwerp in Belgium, Liverpool and Southampton in the UK and New York and Philadelphia in the USA.
These two posters both feature the Westernland (5,736 tons, built 1883, scrapped 1912).
