In the mid-19th century, many European and American ships began to appear in Southeast Asia. Some of these ships belonged to the Peninsular and Oriental and Steam Navigation Company – a company founded in London during the early 19th century and commonly known as P.&O. – as part of the company's development of the shipping industry in Asia. Soon after the European establishment of trade with Japan, the P.&O. Company founded the Shanghai, Hong Kong and Japan route, which began operating in 1864. The shipping company's activities in East Asia also contributed greatly to population movement. This thesis describes the late 19th-century East Asian Seas, the P.&O. Shipping Company's activities and the resulting regional cooperation.
