Julia, I'm sorry to correct you but maybe someone has provided you with incorrect information. There were 4 Italian Ligurias on the Atlantic in the 19th and 20th Century but yours was British. She was the 1874-1903 Liguria of Pacific Steam Navigation Company which was transferred to Orient Line Management in 1880.
