Beyond this, the Shaw, Savill Line, and the New Zealand Shipping Company call at Montevideo on their homeward bound trips from the Antipodes. The best known of all the English lines, however, and the one which is most generally associated with the South American traffic is the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. The history of this Company is altogether bound up with that of Argentina. Founded as it was in 1838, when the Republic was in the first throes of its troubled and irresponsible youth, ope...rations were commenced with a modest fleet of fourteen vesels which, abreast of the times though they were, compare insignificantly with the most modest of the Company's modern cargo boats. Since that time the growth of the line has steadily kept pace with that of the Argentine Republic. In order to demonstrate the rapidity of its recent de- velopment it is necessary to refer to the statistics of the fleet. In 1901, for instance, the tonnage of this amounted to 85, 144 tons. In 1906 it had leaped up to a total of 165, 511 tons, with a couple of large steamers building.
