Red Star Line steamships traveled from Belgium to New York and Philadelphia from 1871 until the 1930s. This 1899 poster by Henri Cassiers depicts a 16,000-ton passenger ship named the Westernland.
The company—not to be confused with the White Star Line, which owned the Titanic—had its New York office at 9 Broadway, at the southern tip of Manhattan.
