Société Siccardo was founded on 4 January 1848 for inshore
navigation, and sold off in 1854.
Siccardo operated only one ship, SS Le Précurseur, built in Marseilles
in 1849 and sold to Rampal on 16 August 1854. Rampal was probably even
less successful than Siccardo since he sold SS Le Précurseur in Italy
in 1858.
The name of the ship is fairly ironical, since it can be understood as
'trail-blazer', even if she had no successor.
