Trasmediterránea Shipping Lines Drink Glass.  The glass has no chips or cracks, just a few light surface scratches from use.  The painted flag logo is lightly faded.  On 1st January 1917, José Juan Dómine, Vicente Ferrer, Joaquín Tintoré and Enrique García created a new company by joining together their respective shipping companies, thus the Trasmediterránea Company was born.  From 1955 and for the next 10 years, the sister ships Ciudad de Barcelona and Ciudad de Burgos alternated on the Balearic routes. Car ferries had been introduced on the Algeciras-Ceuta route in 1951, but were not built for the Canaries and Balearic routes until the Albatros Class of 1966. The fleet was replaced again from the mid-1970s with the elegant Canguro Class, some of which are still in service.  Modernisation of the Trasmediterránea fleet began in 1980 when the Jetfoil Princesa Voladora entered service in the Canaries. Having a jetfoil in the Canaries was important as it introduced a 80 minute maritime shuttle service between the two Canary capitals: Las Palmas & Santa Cruz. This vessel had a big effect on Canary Island society, raising its quality, and Trasmediterránea consequently decided to buy two more Jetfoil ships in the following two years, Princesa Guayarmina and Princesa Guacimara. In the summer of 1987, a third route was added to Morro Jable (Fuerteventura).  Since 1990, the fleets have been replaced again with modern multi-purpose, ro-pax and ro-ro ferries, whilst vehicle-carrying fast catamarans and monohull ferries have been used since 1995.
