by Nelson Lines to the River Plate, Argentina, circa 1911

The Nelson Line was founded in 1880 and began carrying passengers in 1910, a decision that was quickly followed by its merger with Royal Mail Steam Packet Company in 1913. This depicts leisure activities on the deck of the Highland Rover, which had her maiden voyage on 1910. Passing her is another ship in the fleet, the Highland Warrior, launched in 1911.
