The Munson Steamship Line.

A cousin of mine, Walter D. Munson was doing good raising sugar in Cuba in the late eighteen hundreds. He was doing so good that he founded the Munson Steamship Line in 1899 to haul sugar to New York. Soon the steam ship line was a big success with many shops sailing between the US and South America.

The ship line went bankrupt in 1939. Darn old depression!


The Munson Steamship Line had its own china.


Gee! I could have sailed to Rio.



More china.



My cousins sure have gotten around.
