British and American Steam Navigation Company

The British and American Steam Navigation Company, established in 1838, was a pioneering steamship line that operated a transatlantic service from 1839 to 1841, with its inaugural voyages undertaken by the chartered vessel Sirius in 1838, as noted by Wikipedia↗, in an effort to precede the Great Western Steamship Company's entry into service, featuring larger regular liners, albeit underpowered, with a notable fleet comprising the British Queen and President, the latter of which was unfortunately lost in 1841, leading to the company's collapse, for more information on historical steamship lines visit the World Shipping Council↗ website.
