180 Passengers Sail
Aboard Aleutian
In Season Opener
SEATTLE — A hundred and
eighty passengers sailed for Alas
ka on the initial departure of
the year of Alaska Steamship
Company’s steamer Aleutian May
22 inaugurating the 1953 Alaska
tourist season.
Coinciding with National Mari
time Day, this departure was
honored in Seattle in conjunction
with the 134th anniversary of the
sailing of the first steam vessel
to cross the Atlantic. This was
the Savannah. She sailed from
Savannah, Georgia for Liverpool,
England on May 22, 1819.
Visitors at Pier 42 for the oc
casion were addressed by Mayor
Allen Pomeroy of Seattle in a
program which included music by
a five-piece band, Miss Maritime
and her court, and the presenta
tion of co-chairmen of the Mari
time - Day Labor Committee:
Maxie Weisbarth, Sailors Union
of the Pacific Agent, and Art Ol
sen, Secretary of the International
Longshoremen’s and Warehouse
men’s Union Seattle local.
D. E. Skinner, vice president
and general manager of Alaska
Steamship Company, in a brief
talk, spoke of the early history
and development of the company
since 1895. He pointed out that
the four company passenger ves
sels, whose future is uncertain,
constitute four-fifths of the U. S.
domestic passenger fleet and that
Matson Line’s Lurline is the only
other passenger vessel in this ser
vice.
After acknowledging excesses
of management and labor in the
past, Skinner referred to the new
era of cooperation between labor
and management and suggested
that this held the solution of pre
sent-day shipping problems.
