This series consists of one folder:
The New York and Porto Rico (sic) Steamship Company was originally owned by the Briton, Archibald Bull, and operated between New York and Puerto Rico. After the Spanish-American War, when Puerto Rico became a US posession, Bull was forced to sell the company, because he could not continue to sail between two US ports with US registered (and built) vessels without buying new, US-Built vessels. American, John Berwind, purchased the line and continued to operate vessels between New York and Caribbean ports until 1949, when the reorganized Bull Lines re-purchased New York and Porto Rico SS Co., ending its separate identity.Collection
