Alaska Service Is His Business
To many Alaskans, Captain Carl Nilsen,
commander of the SS. Aleutian, is both a
friend of long standing and a close associate
in the development of the Territory.
He began making a business of going to
sea when he was fifteen and joined the
Alaska Steamship Company as a third officer
in 1917. Within three years he received his
master’s papers and subsequently took
command of the first of ten Alaska Line
ships he has commanded in his long service.
During his thirty-two years with the
Alaska Steamship Company, Captain Nilsen
has played an active part in providing the
water transportation so vital to expanding
Alaska enterprise and industry.
By entrusting its ships to experienced of
ficers like Captain Nilsen, the Alaska Steam
ship Company has built confidence in it*
service to the Territory.
