Dominion Line - Liverpool to Canada poster, 1904
"The Dominion Line was a trans-Atlantic passenger line founded in 1870 as the Liverpool & Mississippi Steamship Co., with the official name being changed in 1872 to the Mississippi & Dominion Steamship Co Ltd. The firm was amalgamated in 1902 into the International Mercantile Marine Co. After 1908, the passenger service was operated under the name 'White Star-Dominion Line' and in 1926 the Dominion Line company was wound up completely, with the service itself being renamed 'White Star Line Canadian Service'. The company concentrated on the UK-Canada passenger trade.
"The line sailed from Liverpool and several ports on the American and Canadian east coasts, namely Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, Portland and Boston." (wikipedia)
