Talk:Australasian Steam Navigation Company

Gunga
The newspaper article for the merger with Queensland Steam Shipping Company lists the ships of the two companies. The Gunga appears twice, once as a QSS ship and once as a ASNC ship (although the tonnage is different). Were there really two ships of the same name at the same time or is one an error?

 * There were indeed two at the same time: Australasian's (Off No 51415) 1257grt, built Hull 1865; Queensland's (ON 80429) 357grt, built Glasgow 1878. The latter was renamed CROYDON, probably in 1890 (though didn't change in the British Register until 1896).Davidships (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

"Australian Steam Navigation Company" and/or "Australasian Steam Navigation Company"?
Were the names "Australian Steam Navigation Company" and "Australasian Steam Navigation Company" used interchangeably, or were there 2 different companies? For example, on page 70 of a Tasmanian report, an agreement with "the Australian Steam Navigation Company carrying on business in Sydney" is printed, but ends with "In witness whereof the seal of the said Australasian Steam Navigation Company has been affixed".
