History
The Hamburg Amerikanische Packetfahrt Actien Gesellschaft (HAPAG) known as Hamburg-Amerika Linie, was an enterprise established in Hamburg, Germany in 1847 for shipping across the Atlantic Ocean. It was the largest shipping company in German, and at times the world's largest shipping company, serving the market created by the German immigration to the United States.
