história
The Dollar Steamship Company was an American shipping company in operation from 1901 to 1938. The company was established by a Scottish-born California lumber baron Robert Dollar (1844-1932) who, in 1903, expanded his business interest to British Columbia. His initial interest in shipping was to transport lumber across the Pacific to markets in China but by the 1920s, Dollar Line ships were offering round the world passenger and cargo services. In 1937, the company went bankrupt and was sold to the United States Maritime Commission.
