Compagnie Franco-Americaine
Formed in 1856 by Gauthier Freres & Compagnie of Paris and Lyons to operate a fleet of iron screw steamers between Havre and North & South America. The company's services proved to be very irregular, ships prone to breakdowns and passengers far fewer than expected. The company closed in 1857.
