The Atlantic Transport Line, 1881-1931 : a history with details on all ships /Jonathan Kinghorn.

A history of the Atlantic Transport Line from its foundation by Bernard N. Baker in 1881 until its closure in 1930s early in the Great Depression. Famous for carrying only first class passengers and for shipping livestock, the Line had never fully recovered from the business disruptions resulting from the First World War and changed peacetime priorities. Chapters highlight the wreck of the Mohegan in 1898 and the Line's absorption into the International Mercantile Marine Company. The book also includes individual histories and technical details of all ships closely associated with the Line and biographies of key personnel.
