- Description
Poster advertising the Federal-Houlder-Shire Lines shipping services to Australia and New Zealand, shows a central panel with the sphere of the Earth lit by the sun from the top, with the moon and stars below. The routes of the company's ships are shown by dotted lines. Text below lists the three companies that make up the Federal-Houlder-Shire Lines company.
Down the sides in scrolls are the names of the ports to which the company sails, as well as shipping flags:
Left side: London, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol; New York, Buenos Ayres, Cape Town Durban
Right side: Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane; Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, Dunedin
A panel across the top shows an illustration of a steamship and tugboats in a city port. Along the lower edge is a scene of steamships and sailing ships in a less developed port, perhaps in Australia.
Federal-Houlder-Shire Lines was established in 1904 by the merger of the Federal Steam Navigation Company, Houlder Brothers and Company, and the Scottish Shire Line owned by Turnbull, Martin and Company. The joint company only existed until 1912 when Federal was taken over by the New Zealand Shipping Company and Houlder withdrew from the arrangement. Federal and Shire continued the partnership until it was dismantled at the outbreak of World War I. (Notes from vendor Geographicus, 2019).
