vol.III - 1840-1850

Kingdom of Sardinia - Kingdom of France - Line of Spain - English Lines

Series "Steamships"

Third volume of a series of three in the works scheduled from 2013, examining all the Steamship Navigation Companies and their freighters and, particularly, the ships transporting mail in the XIX century.

This volume deals with Kingdom of Sardinia, Kingdom of France, the French Line of Algeria, the Line of Sardinia Island, the Line of Spain and the English Navigation on the Italian Coasts between 1840 and 1850. This third work continues the examination of the Navigation Companies and of their units in service on the Mediterranean Sea. Over 23,000 dates are reported, allowing to identify the specific steamship that transported mail, over 100 letters travelled by postal steamships are described, and 26 Decrees that ruled the terms of transport and the agreements between Post Managements and Companies are reported. The history is narrated of the first maritime tragedy that involved the Sardinian steamship Polluce and the Neapolitan one Mongibello; the competition is related between "Marseille Route" and "Trieste Route" to shorten of some days the communications with Indie and Great Britain.
