The Fleets
The Uranium Steamship Company was a continuation of the Northwest Transport Line from 1910 and was probably owned by Canadian Northern Railway Company. Passenger services operated between Rotterdam until 1914 when Avonmouth - Quebec - Montreal services started. The company sold their ships to Cunard in 1916 and they were all later sunk by submarines.
