Before its first purpose-built Atlantic liner, British Queen was completed, British and American chartered Sirius for two voyages in 1838 to beat the Great Western Steamship Company into service. B & A's regular liners were larger than their rivals, but were underpowered. The company collapsed when its second vessel, President was lost in 1841.

En 1841, le President disparaît dans une tempête. La compagnie ne peut alors plus entretenir sa flotte et fait faillite cette même année. Le British Queen est pour sa part vendu au gouvernement belge. * Portail des entreprises * Portail des paquebots (fr)
