Early Date for
Nome Sailing
Changes in the routing of ships
from Seattle to Southwestern
Alaska, and the earliest Nome
passenger sailing since gold-rush
days, are shown in the spring
and summer schedule of the Al
aska Steamship Company, made
public Jan. 14th.
During May, June, July, Aug
ust and September, the company
will operate twenty ships, includ
ing ten passenger liners to ports
along the far-flung Alaskan
Coast, from Ketchikan to the
Arctic.
Effective May 27, with the sail
ing of the Aleutian, ships depart
ing from Seattle on Saturdays
r will call only at Ketchikan and
Juneau en route to Seward, giv
ing the Southwestern Alaska
port virtually a direct service.
The new schedule provides for
a Thursday morning arrival at
Seward instead cf a Friday morn
ing arrival, as in the pest, the
ships reaching ‘hat port 24 hours
earlier on the Saturday sailings.
The units of the fl >et in this ser
vice will return from Seward
via Valdez, Cordova, Juneau,
Wrangell and Ke'ehikan. The
Columbia will operate opposite
the Aleutian, the vessels sailing
on alternate Saturdays at 9
I
o’clock.
Executives of the Alaska
Steamship Company said that an
increasing volume of business to
points on the Alaska Railroad, in
eluding Anchorage and the min
ing districts adjacent to Anchor
age and Fairbanks, has resulted
in the decision to change the
routing of Southwestern Alaska
ships.
The Sutherland, largest freight
er of the Alaska Steamship Com
pany which is being recondi
tioned and equipped with added
cold storage and cool-room space
will sail from Seattle May 25
for Nome and Kotzebue Sound,
in the Arctic, as the first ship
of the year ito Bering Sea and the
Arctic. The first passenger ship
of the lyear scheduled for Nome
is the Columbia, sailing from
Seattle May 30. She will be the
earliest passenger ship for that
port since gold-rush days. In the
past, the ifirst Nome ship has
been sailing from June 1 to June
3.
Also on the Nome route, the
Denali will sail July 11 and Aug
ust 10, making an Arctic cruise
in connection with her August
10 voyage. The Derblay will de
part for Nome August 11,. the
Dena’.i September t2 and the
Mount McKinley October 10, the
latter being the last Bering Sea
sailing of the year.
The Derblay will depart Aug
ust 11 for Bering Sea and Kot
zebue Sound. This sailing will be
the last of the year for the Arc
tic.
After continuing the weekly
Saturday morning departures
through January and February,
the Alaska Steamship Company,
effective March 15, will augment
these sailings with Wednesday
sailings by the Banarof and
Mount McKinley, the ships going
through to Seward. The Baranof
and Mount MoKinley, sailing on
Wednesdays will be routed via
Ketchikan, Wrangell, Juneau,
Cordova, Valdez and Seward, re
turning from Seward, via Cord
ova, Juneau and Ketchikan.
