Changing its name in 1925 from the Grand Trunk Pacific Coast Steamship Company, the Canadian National Steamship Company operated sailings between Canada, Bermuda and the West Indies, as well as between Vancouver and Alaska. This a very rare poster and also quite an early one for the island, as the majority of posters advertising travel to Bermuda were produced by the Furness Cruise Line in the 1950s.
