Don E. Engdahl, Spokane, president of Kiwanis International,

Eisenhower as representative of the people of America.
The pledge of rededication reaffirms Kiwanis' determination
to serve the individual, the community, and the nation. It was

Alaska Lina Completes
6Qth Year of Operation
March 3 manes the completion
of 60 years of Alaska Steamship
Company service to Alaska. With
the sailing from Seattle of the
motorship Square Sinnet schedul
ed for March 4, The Alaska Line
will have commenced its 61st
year.
Organized in the rough and
umble nineties, Alaska Steamship
Company served Alaska through
the gold rush period. It carried
cargo to Skjagway before the
White Pass and Yukon Route was
constructed, to Seward before the
Alaska Railroad came into being,
and into Valdez when the Rich
ardson Highway was a trail.
Seattle was but one of a num
ber of Puget Sound ports serving
Alaska in 1895. Most of Alaska
traffic was carried by vessels
headquartered in San Francisco.
There had been a cumber of gold
discoveries in Alaska and the de
mand for shipping to the North
land was brisk. Charles E. Pea
body, the father of Capt. Alex M.
Peabody, the present president of
Puget Sound Navigation Co., to
gether with Capt. George Rob
erts, G. H. Lent and C. E. Taylor,
citizens of the Puget Sound re
gion, figured that a Puget Sound
Alaska steamship operation
should pay off and announced
plans for a service to Southeast
ern! Alaska.
On January 28, 1895 with $30,
000 capital Peabody and his asso
ciates organized the Alaska
Steamship Company at Port
Towns nd. They purchased the
136-foot 450-ton steamer Willapa
and set a bi-monthly schedule
from Seattle with the initial sail
ing date of March 3.
Three years later, on January
1, 1908, the Northwestern Steam
ship Company and Alaska Steam
ship Company joined forces as the
Alaska Steamship Company of
Nevada under the presidency of
Charles E. Peabody. This extend
ed the service of The Alaska Line
to include all Alaska routes.
The Alaska Steamship Com
pany transported thousands of
prospectors to and from the gold
fields and millions of dollars in
gold, but from 1908 until the cop
per mines became exhausted in
1938, copper from Kennecott and
Latouche provided the only sub
stantial year-round traffic that
moved from Alaska.
Altogether during The Alaska
Line’s 60 years of service, the
company has lost 18 ships through
marine casualties. Three of these
occurred during World War II.
Long identified with Alaska
through their salmon cannery in
terests the Skinner and Eddy Cor
poration of Seattle purchased the
Alaska Steamship Company ftCn
Kennecott Copper Corporation in
1944 and Gilbert W. Skinner be
came president.
The most advanced type of con
tainer service, a seatrain opera
tion, is now receiving intensive
study by the company.
In October 1953, Gilbert W.
Skinner died and his son, D. E.
Skinner, who had been vice presi
dent and general manager of the
line since 1950, succeeded his
father to the presidency.
One of the early carriers in the
coastwise passenger service, The
Alaska Line was. the last Ameri
can line to withdraw from this
business. Now Alaska Steamship
Company completes its 60th year
of Alaskan operations and begins
its 61st specializing in cargo
transportation.
