Wien History of the Danube Steamship Company from its foundation to the Paris Congress (1829-1856) The First Royal and Imperial Privileged Danube Steamship Company (Erste k. k. priv. Donau-Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft) played a key role in Danubian water transport for roughly a century, confirming the Danube's role in linking different regions and nations. The multinational company linked regions with widely differing populations, and historical and religious traditions through its efficient passenger and cargo transport and communications system. In 1829, two British engineers and entrepreneurs, John Andrews and Joseph Pritchard received exclusive privileges to operate the steamships with an improved mechanism invented by them on the Danube section flowing through the Habsburg Empire and to create a Danubian steamship company. The political and economic elite of the empire brought the company's shares, a guarantee for the company's success. Count István Széchenyi, who spared no effort to establish steamship navigation on the Danube, played a key role during the first two decades of the company's existence. Széchenyi intended to extend Danubian navigation to the Black Sea and from there to Odessa and Constantinople. The study offers an overview of the company's first twenty-five years, interwoven by political and economic interests, based on various Austrian sources and Henry Hajnal's monograph on the Danube.
