Category:Black Ball Line (Liverpool)
Black Ball Line (Liverpool), a fleet of packet ships running between Liverpool and Australia owned by James Baines & Co, founded in 1852. In 1851 James Baines & Co. of Liverpool entered the packet trade using the same name and flag as the New York company, despite its protests. Thus, for about twenty years, two "Black Ball lines" under separate ownership were operating in direct competition on the transatlantic packet trade. James Baines & Co. also operated ships running between Liverpool and Australia, including famous clipper ships such as Champion of the Seas, James Baines, Lightning, Indian Queen, Marco Polo and Sovereign of the Seas. The Line carried on until 1871 when it ceased trading.
