According to Wikipedia, "The Pacific Mail Steamship Company was founded April 18, 1848, as a joint stock company under the laws of the State of New York by a group of New York City merchants. Incorporators included William H. Aspinwall, Edwin Bartlett (American consul at Lima, Peru and also involved with the Panama Railroad Company), Henry Chauncey, Mr. Alsop, G.G. Howland and S.S. Howland. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company was established to carry US mail on the Pacific leg of a transcontinental route via Panama." OCLC does not record this as of August 2024, nor does AAS; but the Huntington owns a copy ["Date is determined by the vessels listed in the print"].
