History of Société Navale Nord-Africaine

The Société Navale Nord-Africaine was founded in Oran (Algeria) by David Hyaffil and associates (Loewy, Rosenbaum & Co.) as a part of a larger business involving ship purchase, resale and chartering. The shipping branch was transfered to Marseilles in 1923 and suppressed in 1925.
