Salmon Fortune
Growing At
Seattle Piers
, , •
SEATTLE. (£*) — In the vast
labrinth of Salmon Terminas, Inc.,
at pier 24, sweating longshoremen
began piling up a fortune this
week.
They were piling up cases of
Alaska canned salmon, brought in
by the historic old “gold ship”
Victoria. The season is just get
ting started; the tiers of salmon
cases are only in the formative
stage, but before the season ends,
there will be from two to three
million cases stored in pier 24 and
pier 23.
The Victoria, commanded by
Capt. Adolph Danielson, was un
loading Monday and Tuesday thei
second load of any consequence of
the current season—some 37,000
cases, including halves and tails,
from Prince William Sound. The
“Vic” also brought in 9,000 cases
of clams from Cordova.
First shipment was discltyged
last week from the SS. Abigail
Adams. Reports are that the Cor
dova and Prince William Sound
area had its heaviest run of red
salmon in seven years. The Adams
and the Victoria brought down
the bulk of this pack, according
to 2nd mate Manuel Carames of
the Victoria.
Such loads as the two ships had,
however, are slight compared,
with the cargoes of 200,000 and
250,000 cases that will be coming
down later in the season from
other Alaska areas, pointed out D. {
C. Curtis, foreman at Salmon Ter- .
minals.
All summer long, winches will *
rattle and noisy jitneys will rum
ble over the planking, with wagon ;
I COASTAL RAMBLER CARRIED
FULL LOAD
The M/V Coastal Rambler,
which arrived on Saturday at
9:35 a.m. under the command of
Capt. L. Jacobson, has been dis
charging freight steadily since it
arrival.
The ship carried a full load of
deck cargo which had to be taken
off before the hatches could be
epened for general cargo.
On deck were 2 weasels, 9 autos,
8 trues. 3 tractors, 1 grader and
a drag line. In addition there was i
163 tons of wood piling, 63 tons j
wood ties, 93 tons of lumber, 422 i
pieces of steel piling and two die
sel engines.
A capacity load of cold storage
and cool room supplies were car-;
ried along with the general cargo i
below decks which totaled 3,256
tons.
The vessel encountered rough j
seas from Capt Flattery to Una
laska but encountered no ice in
Bering Sea.
