Hi all Do hope someone could help me. On my grandfather's birth certificate it stated that he worked for O.S.S. Co., as a clerk. Does anyone know what the initials O.S.S. stand for. What type of business this was. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated. I live overseas and it is hard for me to try and get any info.

Does anyone know what >the initials O.S.S. stand for. What type of business this was. My guess is The Ocean Steam Ship Company. They operated several ships between Savannah and New York. Among their ships were The City of Atlanta and the City of Savannah. My grandfather was a captain with this line for several years during the depression. Bill
