Histórico
Once the biggest shipping line in the southern hemisphere, Union Steamship Company operated passenger liner between British Columbia, Australia, and New Zealand. In 1931. Union Steamship Company of New Zealand and Canadian Pacific Railway established a new jointly owned company, the Canadian Australasian Line Ltd. in cooperation with Canadian Pacific. Two New Zealand Union Steamship passenger liners were transferred to the new company that offered scheduled service from British Columbia to Australasia. This service was interrupted during WWII and ended in 1953.
