HER GLASS BOAT FLEET
NEVER GOES TO SEA
South Portland Me. <U.P.< A
fleet of JO boats that never has
been closer to water than the
kitchen sink is owned by Mrs.
Josephine M. Fink.
Her craft are glass miniatures
from tour to 14 inches long mod
eled mostly after rowboats. She
began collecting the amber, can
cry, apple green, blue and while
vessels seven years ago in a
search that has carried her from
Ontario to Massachusetts.
The boats were mass produced
some 75 years ago as premiums
to help sell such items as tea l
and baking powder. Today they '
are scarce enough to bring as
high as $10 in antique shops.

This YEAR presents a welcome challenge to us At the Alaska Steamship Company.
We look forward to every day of it, because we know it is going to be a period of great
progress in our service to Alaska.
This progress will be a projection of the fundamental improvements effected during the
last seven months of the old year, since our return to private operation, which in itself was
a long-anticipated forward movement. To review, briefly i
i .
V
The Alaska Steamship Company again placed a fleet of seventeen vessels into
, Alaska sendee, re-establishing its pre-war policy of offering sailings geared to meet
Alaska’s seasonal requirements.
In August, the finest terminal facilities ever offered Alaska
were placed in use when the Alaska Steamship Company
opened its new and modern Seattle headquarters at The Alaska
Terminal —* Pier 42,
Radar installations were completed on all passenger ships by September and author
ization made to so equip our freighters, work on six of which has already been
completed. Radar-equipped ships mean improved service through reliable scheduling
— even in the thickest weather.
Kft
The proper packaging program, instituted by the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, has been strongly promoted by The Alaska Line as a part \
of its effort to eliminate damage and pilferage of merchandise shipped 5
to Alaska.
I
These are but some of the forward strides taken during the last half of 1947, not to men
tion our important new policy of keeping Alaskans informed of our plans and problems.
Yes, the old year—short as it was for the Alaska Steamship Company—was packed full of
accomplishments. But, now is the time to look forward —• not backward. The Alaska Steam
ship Company is undergoing a reorganization, aimed at affording greater efficiency of operation.
A proposed plan, about which we will tell you more in a later message, has been made for
the Company’s return to wholly private operation on a permanent basis. Other important
moves are at hand to give effect to the Alaska Steamship Company’s program of progress
and improvement for 1948.
Yes, we welcome this year’s challenge which will be fully met by our organization __.primed
to produce the best in transportation for Alaska.
