Home Lines 

Home Lines was an Italian passenger shipping company that operated both ocean liners and cruise ships. The company was founded 

in 1946, and it ceased operations in 1988 when merged into Holland America Line. Although based in Genoa, Homes Lines was an 

international company with ships registered in Panama, while the original company chairman Eugen Eugenides was Greek. By the 

time Home Lines was merged into Holland America, they were one of the most highly regarded cruise lines in the world.

Ellerman Lines 

Ellerman Lines was a UK cargo and passenger shipping company that operated from the late nineteenth century and into the 

twentieth century. It was founded in the late 19th century, and continued to expand by acquiring smaller shipping lines until it 

became one of the largest shipping firms in the World. Setbacks occurred through heavy losses to its merchant fleet in the First 

and Second World Wars but were overcome in each case.

The company suffered from competition and modernising trends in the shipping industry that occurred in the second half of the 

20th century. Its shipping assets were subsequently sold off to larger companies until the name was dropped in 2004, and Ellerman

 finally ceased its long association with shipping.
