The Orient company was a small enterprise operating a handful of very large ships in virtually one trade the mail and passenger service to Australia and New Zealand. In due course it provided a co-ordinated service in this region with ships of the P&O fleet; in later years similarly in collaboration with P&O a passenger service between North American ports and Australia and New Zealand was instituted and in attempts to promote passenger traffic in the Pacific a series of voyages between North America the Far East and Australia were inaugurated. The company's ships were also extensively employed in ocean cruising.' Royal Museums Greenwich Internal references date this very early Company prospectus to 1880. Trove locates no copies. unknown
