American President Lines was formed in 1938 after the bankruptcy and collapse of its direct predecessor, the Dollar Line. At one time, it was the largest U.S. merchant shipping company in the transpacific trade and for over thirty years also operated a west-bound round the world service. The company ended its passenger services in 1973. The company continues to operate cargo services at the time of writing.
