PMC - Old Dominion Line - Steamship Service New York to Virginia - 1904: Old Dominion Line, New York (1867-WWII): The Old Dominion Line was the post-Civil War successor of the earlier New York and Virginia Steamship Company, which had been founded in 1850. It provided service between Norfolk and New York. The name comes from Virginia\'s nickname, \"the Old Dominion,\" a reference to the colony\'s loyalty to the Stuarts during the English Commonwealth period. After 1923, the Old Dominion Line was a subsidiary of the Eastern Steamship Co. The Flag was a white swallowtail with blue upper and lower edges and the initials OD (sometimes shown with periods after the letters) in red on the center.
