The following year they already had 19 ships in service and by 1914 the fleet had grown to 35. As the name suggests they ran the routes through the Mediterranean via North Africa to North and South America. They carried not only cargo from Trieste to New York and to Buenos Aires and back again, but hundreds of thousands of emigrants from Central Europe and Russia to the New World. Here they rivalled the British Cunard Line. The flagship of the fleet, “Kaiser Franz Joseph I”, entered service in 1912. After the war it was renamed the “President Wilson”. (PRWeb Jun 29, 2006)
