Johnson Line (Swedish: Johnsonlinjen) was a Sweden-based shipping line founded in 1904 as a subsidiary of Rederi AB Nordstjernan. In 1982 Johnson Line absorbed Rederi AB Svea, another Rederi AB Nordstjernan -owned company, hence becoming a member of the Finnish-Swedish Silja Line consortium. Johnson Line ceased existing as an independent company in 1990 when it merged with the fellow Silja Line member to Effoa to form EffJohn.
Famous quotes containing the words johnson and/or line:
“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The English never draw a line without blurring it.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
