Panama Pacific Line was a subsidiary of International Mercantile Marine (IMM) established to carry passengers and freight between the US East and West Coasts via the Panama Canal. Although IMM had begun preparations for this intercoastal service as far back as 1911, service began in May 1915 with the former Red Star Line (another IMM subsidiary line) ships Kroonland and Finland. When landslides in September 1915 closed the canal for an extended time, Kroonland and Finland were reassigned to the IMM's American Line. The outbreak of World War I and its strain on international shipping caused the intercoastal service to be suspended.

  • Panama Pacific Line was a subsidiary of International Mercantile Marine (IMM) established to carry passengers and freight between the US East and West Coasts via the Panama Canal. Although IMM had begun preparations for this intercoastal service as far back as 1911, service began in May 1915 with the former Red Star Line (another IMM subsidiary line) ships Kroonland and Finland. When landslides in September 1915 closed the canal for an extended time, Kroonland and Finland were reassigned to the IMM's American Line. The outbreak of World War I and its strain on international shipping caused the intercoastal service to be suspended. In 1923 Kroonland and Finland were returned to the reinstated intercoastal route along with the American Line passenger steamer Manchuria. Manchuria's sister ship Mongolia supplanted Kroonland on the route in 1925. Three ships with steam turbo generators and turbo-electric transmission — California, Virginia and Pennsylvania — came into service in 1928–29, replacing all the other ships on the intercoastal service. These three newest ships included a drive-on service for passengers' automobiles, which allowed passengers to disembark with their cars at ports of call, such as Havana, a stop added in the early 1930s. In 1936 California, docked at San Pedro, California, was the setting for the SS California strike, which contributed to the demise of the International Seamen's Union and the creation of the National Maritime Union. In June 1937 the United States Congress withdrew all maritime mail subsidies, which by then included a total of $450,000 per year to Panama Pacific for its three liners. At the beginning of March 1938 the Panama Canal tolls were revised, increasing Panama Pacific's costs by $37,000 per year. As a result of these cost increases and continuing labor difficulties, Panama Pacific ended its New York – California service and took all three liners out of service. California was the last to leave service, joining Pennsylvania and Virginia in New York at the beginning of May 1938. The United States Maritime Commission took over the three liners and transferred them to Moore-McCormack Lines to start a New York — River Plate service under Franklin D. Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy. (en)
  • La Panama Pacific Line était une filiale de International Mercantile Marine Co.

Bien que l'IMM commença les préparations pour son service inter-côtier depuis 1911, le service commença en mai 1915 avec les anciens navires de la Red Star Line (une autre filiale de l'IMM), à savoir les SS Kroonland et . Quand un glissement de terrain en septembre 1915 ferma le canal pour une longue durée, les Kroonland et Finland furent réassignés à l'American Line, une autre société de l'IMM. L'annonce de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et ses contraintes sur le transport maritime international ont entraînés la fermeture de la route inter-côtière. En 1923, les Kroonland et Finland retournèrent sur le service inter-côtier ressuscité avec le bateau à vapeur de l'American Line . Le sister-ship du Manchuria, le SS Mongolia, supplanta le Kroonland sur la route en 1925. Trois navires dotés de turbines à vapeur et électrique — les , , et le — entrèrent en service en 1928, remplaçant tous les autres bateaux du service inter-côtier. Ces 3 nouveaux navires pouvaient embarquer l'automobile des passagers en possédant une, ce qui a permis de débarquer des passagers avec leurs voitures dans les ports d'escale, comme La Havane, un arrêt ajouté au début des années 1930. En 1936, le California, amarré à San Pedro, en Californie, fut pris dans une grève qui contribua à la disparition de l' et à la création de la . En 1938, le service inter-côtier fut terminé et les trois navires turbo-électriques, le California, Pennsylvania, et Virginia, furent vendus pour un usage sur la route New York — Río de la Plata.
