The "Norwegian American Steamship Company" was founded in Bergen 1870. One of the founders of the line was Peter Jebsen, who was already in the shipping business. Jebsen was partial owner of a Bergen shipping company called "Norske Lloyd". The founding of the line was the first attempt to maintain a direct steamship route from Norway to America. Before 1870 most Norwegian emigrants left Norway on sailing vessels. By 1870 the great transatlantic steamship companies had by far conquered the sailing ships in the transportation of emigrants. Norwegian emigrants who wanted to travel to America by steamship, had to travel via Britain or Germany. The Allan Line and the Anchor Line had a feeder service from Norway for some years. How ever, the dominant company in the feeder service from Norway was the British owned "Wilson Line". There was also a route from Norway to Hamburg and Bremen in Germany, maintained by Norwegian steamship companies.
