United States Lines
United States Lines was a major American shipping company operating passenger and freight ships primarily from the early 20th century through the 1980s. It played a key role in transoceanic travel, carrying passengers and goods between the United States, Europe, and other regions. The company was known for its iconic ocean liners, offering luxury travel experiences before the rise of air travel made such ships less common. Despite its prominence, United States Lines faced financial difficulties and eventually ceased operations in the early 1980s. Its legacy includes innovative maritime design and contributions to U.S. maritime history.
