Scope and Content

This series consists of 8 folders: Founded in 1878 by London-based Anderson, Anderson and Co. as Orient Steam Navigation Company, the Orient Line offered freight and passenger service between Britain, Australia and Asian ports. In 1919 P&O Lines bought a controlling share of the company and it remained a P&O subsidiary until 1966, when P&O dropped the Orient Line name from the service. The line began offering Transpacific routes between Australia and Asian and North American Pacific ports in 1954.
