The Moore-McCormack Lines was a series of companies operating as shipping lines, operated by the Moore-McCormack Company, Incorporated, later Moore-McCormack Lines, Incorporated, and simply Mooremack, founded in 1913 in New York City. It ceased trading on its buy-out in 1982. The founders were (1880–1953) (director/president) and (director/treasurer), with Mr Molloy (director/secretary). From a small start with one ship, SS Montara, inaugurating a run from the United States to Brazil, the shipping line expanded to become a major US line operating around the world.
