Lloyd Triestino

Lloyd Triestino was a major shipping company, created in 1919 when the city of Trieste became part of Italy in the settlement after the First World War.

During this period (1919/21), special chartered sea voyages were undertaken, covering Asia, Africa and Oceania, with very distinguished passengers on board, in parallel with the delayed founding of the League of Nations.

[3] The illustrated travel magazine Sul Mare (Italian for 'On the Sea') was distributed on Lloyd's ships and other outlets from March 1925 to 1944, and revived after the Second World War; 148 issues were produced.

Their covers were decorated with four-colour illustrations by Italian artists, many of them from Trieste, including Giorgio Settala [it], Vittorio Cocever [it], Gianni Brumatti, Glauco Cambon [it]}, Augusto Černigoj, Marcello Claris, Marcello Dudovich, Ugo Flumiani, Giovanni Giordano Lanza [it], Lauro Laghi, Piero Lucano [it], Guido Marussig, Argio Orell, and Antonio Quaiatti.

[11] The partnership grew over the years, until Evergreen bought Lloyd Triestino outright in 1998, running it in parallel to its other European affiliate, the British-based line Hatsu Marine, created in 2000.
