Other Carriers In Conjunction With Cunard
Cunard operated throughout the period from 1827-1877 and beyond. There were two major changes in Cunard's relationship with other carriers. The first was the RMSP's abandonment of her British stops after 1850. The other was Cunard's loss of her transatlantic contract to Inman in 1868. These changes made the Cunard Bermuda-Halifax connection more important
The following section illustrates the inter-relationships between Cunard, RMSP and other lines
Cunard and The Quebec & Gulf Ports Steamship Company
This line offered direct service between Bermuda and return, whereas Cunard did not, In 1869 after the Inman Line lost the contract, Cunard again carried transatlantic mail
