The Fleets
The Zino Line was formed in Savona, Italy in 1889 to run services between Genoa and South America. Sailings were also made to New Orleans from 1900 and to New York between 1902-1906. By 1908 the company had ceased carrying passengers, but there was increased emigration to Chile, so Zino formed the Societa Lloyd del Pacifico to which he transferred his passenger ships.
