The company initially had a fleet of 58 steamships and expanded its operations rapidly, first to other Asian ports and then worldwide, with a line service to London being inaugurated in 1899. In World War II (WWII), the NYK Line provided military transport and hospital ships for the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy, and only 37 NYK ships survived the war. In modern times, it has a fleet of about 800 ships, which includes container ships, tankers, roll-on/roll-off car carriers, cruise ships, and more. Artist: Koiso Ryohei Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Japanese poster!
