Wilber C. Hubbard
! Now Retired After
jMany Years on “Vic”
(The Alaska Liner)
SEATTLE—Wilber C. Hubbard,
whose name is almost synonym
ous with famous old Victoria, re
tired from the position of port
! steward in August 1949.
I Hubbard now spends much of
his time at his home with his
wife Bessie.
In February 1917, Hubbard
joined the crew of the Alaska
Steamship Co. as a waiter. He
was chief steward on the Victoria
from February 1923 until 1934.
Anyone who sailed much on
the “Vic” during those 11 years
can tell you about “Hub”, and he
can tell you about the Victoria.
She had “the finest record of
any ship afloat and has seen many
of her modern sisters relegated
to the boneyard.”
Hubbard was noted for his
happy disposition and his kind,
prompt and courteous treatment
of passengers. Those who traveled
to Nome on the “Vic” were unani
mous in praise. “Hubbard main
tains a better table than many
leading hotels,” they said.
Born Feb. 27, 1885, Hubbard is
a native of Hubbard, Oregon.

When the new group arrives,
most of the 319 men who have
spent the long winter at the South

Another winter party will remain
behind when the ships and planes
start back to the United States
next February:'
