The line was successful for a time, paying a £120,000 dividend in 1869 and expanding its fleet to twelve ships by 1871. By the late 1800s, however, business had declined, and it discontinued its regular New York service in 1892. National was later purchased by the Atlantic Transport Line and operated freight services only in the later part of its life until it was liquidated in 1914. (en)
