Bonsoir,
Dans la breve histoire de la Compagnie de Navigation DAHER, j'ai noté :
"In 1887, Barban and Daher attempted to find a convenient way to ship heavy and cumbersome packets. After a few successful chartering operations, the two associates decided to found their own shipping company. In 1895, they bought SS Saint-Jacques from the Société Navale de l'Ouest and opened a line between Marseilles and Tunisia.
In 1899, Barban withdrew and Paul Daher remained the sole owner of the Société de Navigation à Vapeur Daher. A second, bigger cargo ship, SS Saint-Nicolas, was purchased, which replaced SS Saint-Jacques, lost on Cap Couronne, west of Marseilles in November 1899.
In 1904, Daher purchased a bigger cargo ship, SS Sainte-Hélène, which was used to transport heavy materials such as railway engines and rails. SS Sainte-Marguerite, bought in 1913, was even bigger and confirmed the specialization of Daher in heavy transport. Both ships were commissioned by the state during the First World War. SS Sainte-Marguerite shipped heavy artillery batteries to the eastern front, and was sunk off Matapan (Greece) in 1915 by an U-boat. SS Sainte-Hélène blew up on a mine in 1917.
In 1921, Daher bought a new ship, SS Sainte-Marguerite II and reopened the Tunisian line. Until 1930, the company bought another four ships and extended its lines to Lebanon, then under French mandate."
