In 1840 Samuel Cunard founded the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, which was also known by its founder's name--the Cunard Line. In 1910 the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company bought out the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. Here a very stylish and affluent crowd is gathering quay-side to board one of the company's steamers.
