Description

Brasil - Plata Par Les Compagnies De Navigation Chargeurs Reunis Sud - Atlantique Travel Poster, Brazil - Plata by shipping companies Chargeurs Reunis South - Atlantic. Chargeurs Réunis was founded in Le Havre in 1872. Twenty-five years later, the company owned 35 ships, which transported in 1891 some 470,000 tons cargo and 13,600 passengers. The company operated lines connectinh Le Havre to the coast of West Africa, Brazil, Argentina and New York. In 1916, Chargeurs Réunis took the control of Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique, which operated on the Bordeaux-Brazil-La Plata big, modern liners owned by the French state line. In 1927, the company was raided by the Fabre family via an hostile tender offer, a procedure which was very uncommon at that time. Paul Cyprien Fabre presided the Fabre company, whereas Léon Cyprien Fabre and his associate Alexis Baptifaut presided Chargeurs Réunis. The group invested in air transport in 1933. After an unsuccessful attempt to take over Aéropostale, the group founded Aéromaritime. In 1937, Chargeurs Réunis, still directed by Léon Fabre and Alexis Baptifaut, seceded from Fabre. After the Second World War, the company, presided by Francis Cyprien Fabre, reduced its fleet to some 15 ships. Between 1964 and 1976, the company took over several French ship owners, including Fabre, Fraissinet, Société Générale des Transport Maritimes, Paquet and Union Navale.
