Alaska Steamship
Adds 15th Vessel
Alaska Steamship Company is
purchasing the 10,000 ton steam
ship Southport, now at Todd Ship
yards Corporation, Seattle.

said.
The Southport, a Liberty type,
was built by the New England

This ship will increase to 12 the
number of vessels owned by Alaska
Steamship Company. They have
ships under charter from the Fed
eral Maritime Board.
