The Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Company (LNWSC) was a pleasure cruise company, based in Liverpool. ==Foundation== In 1890, the Glasgow-based Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company had formed the New North Wales Steamship Company (NNWSS).〔 The pleasure cruiser market was quickly changing, and bigger boats meant cheaper prices, and hence higher profits. The NNWSS operated its first season with the new Fairfield-built ''St Tudno'', far bigger than any rival vessel on that run.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Company )〕 Resultantly, in 1891 the NNWSS took over the rival Liverpool, Llandudno and Welsh Coast Steam Boat Company (LL&WC) to form the LNWSC. The original ''St Tudno'' was sold to Germany, but along with the older and smaller LL&WC steamers was replaced by the brand new ''St Tudno'', which became the first ship to run under LNWSC colours.〔〔 The flag of the LNWSC was white swallowtail, bearing a blue cross throughout, with three gold-coloured ostrich feathers in the form of the Fleur-de-Lys in the centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Flag of the Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Company )〕 In 1899, the company took over the smaller Snowdon Passenger Steamboat Company (SPSC), which had started in 1892.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
