? From humble beginnings in the 1830s, The Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company grew to dominate British mercantile shipping for much of the nineteenth & twentieth centuries. Initially, the company`s paddle steamers carried Her Majesty`s Mail to the Iberian Peninsula, as the name implies, but over time P&O extended its routes across the Mediterranean & onwards to the Middle East, Far East & Australasia. Besides the mail, P&O liners carried bullion, silk, tea, & even opium as well as passengers. The company came to represent the British Empire at sea
