The Los Angeles Steamship Company (LASSCO) was a passenger and freight shipping company based in Los Angeles, California. The company, formed in 1920, initially provided fast passenger service between Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 1921, they added service to Hawaii using two former North German Lloyd ocean liners that had been in U.S. Navy service during World War I (WWI). Despite the sinking of one of the former German liners on her maiden voyage for the company, business in the booming 1920s thrived, and the company continued to add ships and services. In 1922, the City of Los Angeles, a renamed and refitted liner was one of the largest American ships sailing in Pacific waters. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that while this poster is backed on linen, it can't be rolled, and it will need to be sent in a very large flat package that measures approximately 22" x 30". Please bear in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Note also that this really cool travel poster was for this steam ship line that operated travel from Los Angeles to Honolulu and back again by steam ship.
