Scope and Content

The Argentine State Line was run by the Argentine government. Argentina was the only South American country to operate long-distance intercontinental ocean liners. The Argentine State Line service from Argentina to New York operated between 1950 and 1962. Between 1952 and 1953 the Evita operated to New York from Buenos Aires. With the fall of the Peron government, any reference to Juan or Eva was removed. The Evita was re-named the Rio Tunuyan. With the Rio de la Plata and Rio Jacal the former Evita held down the 43-day round trip from New York to Buenos Aires via Rio de Janeiro, Santos and Montevideo, returning via the same ports plus Trinidad and La Guaira (Caracas). The series consists of one folder. Folder 1 - Brochures & Deck Plan K0001.009.001
