| - L'Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company (parfois abrégée en O&O) est une compagnie maritime américaine fondée en 1874 par les dirigeants de compagnies ferroviaires désireux de concurrencer la Pacific Mail Steamship Company qui n'avait pas respecté ses engagements vis-à-vis d'eux. Affrétant à partir de 1875 des navires de différentes compagnies dont la plus importante est la britannique White Star Line, la compagnie devient rapidement bénéficiaire, contre toute attente de ses fondateurs qui n'en espéraient que des pertes réduites. Ayant réussi à atteindre son objectif premier, l'O&O se rapproche de la Pacific Mail, au point qu'en 1900, le vice-président de cette dernière en devient le président. Dans les années qui suivent, sa concurrente ayant mis en service des navires plus performants, l'O&O met progressivement fin à ses contrats d'affrètements. Le 30 octobre 1906, le Coptic effectue la dernière traversée de la compagnie, qui continue néanmoins à publier des publicités jusqu'en juillet 1908. (fr)
- The Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company (sometimes abbreviated to O&O) was an American shipping company founded in 1874 by US railroads wishing to provide competition to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company which had not complied with its obligations to them. Chartering vessels from different companies, the most important being the British White Star Line, the company quickly became financially successful, against the expectations of its founders. Having succeeded in its primary objective, the O&O proved a serious competitor to the Pacific Mail, to the point that in 1900, the vice president of the latter became its president. In the following years, Pacific Mail having commissioned more powerful ships, the O&O gradually ended its chartering contracts. On October 30, 1906, the SS Coptic made the company's last crossing, which nevertheless continued to advertise sailings until July 1908. (en)
