"In the early 1900s the Yeoward Line started operating as fruit suppliers and their steamers were adapted for the carriage of bananas from the Canaries. They soon started carrying first class passengers from Liverpool to mainland Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands. The sailings of the Yeoward Line ceased in 1954" (https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/).
