List of ships of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list records vessels that served with the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (French Line) at any point in their careers, including ships built for other owners and those later acquired, transferred, requisitioned, chartered, or awarded to CGT. The table documents each vessel’s original identity, builder, CGT‑related name, CGT service period, and ultimate fate.
It also includes vessels that served under CGT ownership, operation, or management while nominally belonging to associated entities such as Compagnie Générale d’Armements Maritimes (CGAM), Compagnie de Navigation Sud‑Atlantique, Compagnie Générale Transméditerranéenne (CGTM), Red Funnel, and Compagnie Canadienne Transatlantique, where CGT exercised direct managerial, operational, or commercial control.
This list is a working compilation and may be expanded or corrected as additional contemporary sources are located. The table is therefore maintained as a live document reflecting the best information presently available.
Exclusions
This list records only a summary of periods of service under CGT ownership, operation, or management. Vessels whose careers lie entirely outside CGT auspices — including service solely under other owners, joint‑venture partners, subsidiary companies, or successor entities — are excluded.
Where a vessel served under CGT at any point in its career, only its CGT service is recorded here; earlier and later careers fall outside the scope of this list and are documented in the standard commercial sources noted below.
Successor entity
In 1976 the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique was merged into the newly created Compagnie Générale Maritime (CGM), which became the legal successor to CGT. Middlemiss’s historical summary indicates that the transfer of CGT’s remaining fleet and subsidiaries into CGM was largely complete by 1979, with full integration achieved in 1980.
As this list records only periods of service under CGT ownership, operation, or management, vessels whose service lies solely under CGM or later successor entities are excluded. Where Middlemiss extends a vessel’s CGT service beyond 1979, the service period has been standardised to end in 1979 to avoid implying CGT’s continued operation after its practical absorption into CGM.

Notes
- Middlemiss records a return to CGT in 1945, a registration in 1950 and a sale in 1958; however, Lloyd’s Registers list the vessel under Société Anonyme de Gérance et d’Armement to at least 1951, and the vessel cannot be located in Lloyd’s after 1952–1953 under either name. In this instance, as the post‑1938 ownership and service history cannot be reconciled with Lloyd’s, no additional CGT service period has been included.
- Middlemiss infers a Vichy France takeover but does not provide dates, CGT ownership has therefore been taken to 1942 where the vessel is taken over by MOWT.
- Middlemiss notes that the vessel disappearing from registers in 1929/1930; however, the editor has located entries for this vessel in Lloyd's registers in years following with the search not continuing due to fragmented digitisation.
- Vessel launched for the French Government for the Marseille-Corsica route; operated by CGT under contract; the source does not make clear when this contract was awarded /terminated
- Middlemiss compresses several wartime events into a single date, stating that the vessel was scuttled by German forces on 5 May 1943, later refloated and towed to Marseille, and reverted to CGT; the source also notes that the vessel was not repaired until after the war.
- Middlemiss states that in 1973 the vessel was listed as Lord de France but still shown under CGT ownership as Fort de France, and that in 1976 it became Lord de France under Penn Shipping. As Middlemiss provides no inline citations, the status of the name Lord de France during CGT ownership and the timing of the transfer to Penn Shipping are unclear.
- Middlemiss states the vessel did not survive the war; the end date listed is the latest possible date for which the vessel could have remained in service.
- Middlemiss does not explicitly state that the vessel returned to CGT service after repair; however, his introductory note for this class states they were operated by CGT throughout their careers.
- Middlemiss states July 1940: “continued in Vichy France service” but does not specify the operator; CGT operation after this date cannot be confirmed from the source.
- Middlemiss does not define an operator post 1961; it has been assumed that given it was just a Govt. department change or perhaps rename as opposed to a change in operator.
- Middlemiss is not explicit about CGT’s status during 1939–1940, but the vessel remained under French Government ownership and therefore must have been operated by CGT.
- Middlemiss compresses several distinct ownership changes into a single sentence. Jacques Cartier was completed in 1918 for the French Government with CGT as managers, acquired outright by CGT in 1920, and sold in 1938. She reverted to CGT in 1939 as Paimpol, but Middlemiss does not specify the exact date on which Vichy France assumed ownership during 1940–41. His phrasing (“reverted to CGT… taken over by MOWT in June 1941”) is accurate but omits the intermediate Vichy transfer, which can make the timeline appear compressed or contradictory when read without context.
- Middlemiss compresses several distinct wartime events into a single sentence. La Pérouse was laid down in 1914 as a CGAM commercial order, but the French Government intervened during WWI and assumed ownership. Middlemiss does not state whether CGAM or CGT had any managerial involvement during the wartime period, and this uncertainty is not resolved in his narrative. His phrasing (“completed for CGAM; French Govt owned”) reflects the sequence but omits the wartime intervention and the unclear management status, which can make the timeline appear contradictory when read without context.
- Editor can find no record of this vessel ever being registered under the name Cartsdyke or for Shankland; she appears in Bureau Veritas registers and in Scottish Built Ships only as CGT’s La Valette.
- Middlemiss does not specify the operator for this vessel; however, as she appears in his CGT list, the editor has followed the convention used for other Liberty ships and assigned CGT as manager during the French Government ownership period.
- Middlemiss does not specify CGT’s exact role during the French Government ownership period; however, as the vessel is described as renamed “for CGT”, the editor has inferred a managerial role consistent with other EC‑2‑S‑C1 vessels of the era.
- Middlemiss notes that in July 1940 the vessel continued in Vichy service to Corsica, retaining full CGT livery with a large tricolour and its name painted prominently on the hull, in accordance with Vichy identification regulations. Although not operated by CGT at this time, the ship later entered CGT service in 1951.
- Middlemiss states that the vessel was acquired by the French Government “for CGT” to replace CGT’s lost Bretagne, but does not clarify the legal status of ownership during wartime requisition. In the absence of explicit detail, the table records the period 1940–1942 under CGT ownership.
- Middlemiss records that Ursus was in German hands during the war but does not provide the date or circumstances of seizure. The 1947 declaration is a postwar administrative act confirming wartime loss rather than the date of the event itself. As no seizure date is documented, CGT ownership is carried through to 1945 as the latest possible operational year.
- Middlemiss records CGT as managers at the 1940 renaming and notes that the vessel was “returned to CGT” after recovery from the Allied pool in 1945. He does not state when CGT lost control during the war, nor who operated the vessel while it was in the pool. As this information is not provided, no inference is made regarding CGT involvement between 1940 and 1945.
- Middlemiss records multiple interruptions to the vessel’s wartime service (requisition, seizure, scuttling and salvage) but does not provide continuous date ranges for CGT operation between 1940 and 1945. As the extent and duration of CGT involvement during this period cannot be determined from the source, the table does not subdivide the wartime years.
- Middlemiss notes several interruptions to the vessel’s wartime service, including French Government requisition, a period under Vichy control, and subsequent Allied requisition, but does not provide continuous date ranges for CGT operation between 1939 and 1948. As the extent and duration of CGT involvement during these years cannot be determined from the source, the table does not list any of the wartime period as under CGT control.
- Vessel was operated by Red Funnel steamers, a CGT British subsidiary, between 1919 and 1920.
Group Notes
- One of several CGT vessels temporarily requisitioned in 1881 for the Tunisian campaign.
- Middlemiss does not explicitly state, for this vessel, that she was managed by CGT during her CGAM period; the management period is inferred from Middlemiss p. 12, which states: “CGAM was formed with Chargeurs Réunis. CGT was a major shareholder and manager”.
- Middlemiss lists vessels of Cie Générale Marocaine d’Armements (CGMA) as part of the wider CGT group; CGMA service is listed for context but never counted as CGT management or operational service unless Middlemiss is explicit.
- In French maritime usage, paquebot is a broad term meaning any scheduled‑route passenger ship, including colonial steamers, Mediterranean packets, and mixed passenger/cargo vessels. Machine translation tools (e.g., Google Translate) often render paquebot as “ocean liner”, but this is misleading: the French term does not imply ocean‑liner architecture or long‑distance oceanic service. This article therefore classifies ships using English‑language maritime categories (passenger vessel, passenger/cargo vessel, cargo vessel, ocean liner) based on documented service, tonnage, and construction, rather than the French usage of paquebot.
- Middlemiss’s French Lines historical summary describes the 1976 merger of CGT into CGM but does not provide a specific legal end-date for CGT. He continues to treat certain vessels and subsidiaries as operating under CGT auspices into the late 1970s, while indicating that the transfer of CGT’s remaining fleet and subsidiaries into CGM was largely complete by 1979, with full integration achieved in 1980. For the purposes of this table, where Middlemiss extends a vessel’s service period under CGT beyond 1979, the service period has been standardised to end in 1979 to avoid implying CGT’s continued operation beyond the point at which Middlemiss shows its practical absorption into CGM.
- Ships built for CGT’s predecessor, the original Compagnie Générale Maritime (CGM), formed in 1855 by the Péreire brothers, are included in this list only from the date they entered CGT service. Their earlier careers under CGM are not counted as CGT service.
- Middlemiss notes that vessels of Cie France Navigation (CFN) were “taken over by CGT” at the outbreak of war in 1939 and, in some cases, “returned to CFN” after 1946, but he does not explain the nature or extent of CGT’s involvement. For consistency, all CFN service outside wartime is deemed CGT management (Mgr), and all wartime service is treated as Government service rather than CGT operation.
- Middlemiss frequently describes vessels entering wartime Government service, but he does not explain CGT’s capacity, role, or operational involvement during the war. To maintain consistency, all wartime service—whether under French, British, Allied, Vichy, or Free French control—is treated as Government service rather than CGT management or CGT operation. Only CGT service explicitly stated by Middlemiss is counted.
- Lloyd’s Register (1949–50, 1951–52) records Caraïbe as delivered under French Government ownership with CGT as managers, but shows a transition to CGT ownership by 1951–52. Middlemiss notes Government ownership only for Caraïbe and provides no such wording for the sister ships Carbet and Carimaire. Lloyd’s records both of these vessels as CGT-owned from completion. Accordingly, Caraïbe is treated as initially Government-owned and later CGT-owned, while Carbet and Carimaire are treated as CGT vessels throughout.
- Middlemiss p.16 notes that Cie. Générale Transméditerranéenne (CGTM) was formed in 1969, consolidating the CGT and Navigation Mixte North Africa and Corsica ferry services. The vessels were transferred to CGTM, with CGT remaining as managers.
- The Saint‑Nazaire shipyard was under CGT ownership as Chantiers Scott (1861–1866) and later as Chantiers et Ateliers de Penhoët (1881–1900).
- Middlemiss is inconsistent in his treatment of Cie. de Navigation Sud‑Atlantique management. For some vessels he states CGT management for an early period but omits the later change; for others he is silent throughout, and at times he misses the Chargeurs Réunis transition to management in 1916. Middlemiss p. 11 records that Sud‑Atlantique was formed jointly with Chargeurs Réunis and that CGT were the managers until Chargeurs Réunis took over in 1916. Because the vessel‑level entries are often ambiguous or omit this transition, this list applies the management chronology from p. 11 uniformly: CGT management until 1916, Chargeurs Réunis thereafter.
