The Dominion Line was a trans-atlantic passenger line founded in 1870 as the Liverpool & Mississippi Steamship Co., with the official name being changed in 1872 to the Mississippi & Dominion Steamship Co Ltd.[1] The firm was amalgamated in 1902 into the International Mercantile Marine Co.. After 1908, the passenger service was operated under the name "White Star-Dominion Line" and in 1926 the Dominion Line company was wound up completely, with the service itself being renamed "White Star Line Canadian Service".[1] The company concentrated on the UK-Canada passenger trade.[2]

The line sailed from Liverpool and several ports on the American and Canadian east coasts, namely Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, Portland and Boston.[3]
