Shipping in the Habsburg Monarchy is closely related to the two Austrian shipping overseas companies, one of which was Austro-Americana. This shipping company was founded in the late 19th century, but quickly settled with other shipping companies on the European continent, despite the fact that the company did not receive such large financial subsidies as the second Austrian company Österreichischer Lloyd. Thanks to the established shipping lines to North American ports, especially to New York, the company soon began to focus on the transport of migrants from various European countries, mainly from Austria-Hungary, and could also build large steamboats designed for migration transport.
