The Admiral Line (also American Mail Line, and later Admiral Oriental Line) was a steamship company based in Seattle which operated five ocean liners sailing from Seattle to Japan and China.

Pictured here is a stationery card provided to passengers aboard the S. S. President McKinley, which was built in 1921 and in 1922 became part of the Admiral Line fleet. The reverse side of the card is printed with a list of card scores for Ma-Chiong, a game played on the Admiral Line ships which appears to be similar to Mahjong.
