CANNERY SHIPS
LEAVE SOUND
FOR ALASKA
* \
SEATTLE, March 31 (by Associated
Press).—Big, lull-rigged “windjam
mers,” some famous as American clip
per ships long ago, already are spread
ing their sails and heading for Alaska
the vanguard of the summer salmon
fleets which go north every year tc
work with the scores of fish canneries
t#r4 clot northern harbors and inlets
Dozens of other craft, steamers, gas
boats, barges and tugs, are going nortli
with the sailing ships. Before wintei
they will all come plowing back witl
this year’s fish catch canned and
packed and stored in their holds.
No record salmon catch is expected
this year, according to reports from
Alaska. Most of the Southeastern
Alaska canneries expect to reduce
their pack this year from one-third tc
one-half normal, and several will not
operate at all. One cause for the cut
is the fact that all of last year’s pack
has not been sold. Low markets are
given as another reason.
Alaska’s salmon output last year
4ra.s 4,592,201 cases, the smallest since
1915. The high water mark oi
Alaska’s salmon years came in 1918
wl^?.n. in response to a call for war
■food, the canneries sent 6,667,569 cases
out.
Mos# of the salmon are packed in
Southeastern Alaska, a strip of terri
tory that juts south between Northern
British Columbia and the Pacific
ocean. - Last year Southeastern Alaska
fisheries turned out 3,108,364 cases
figainst 775,557 from Central Alaska
and 708,280 from far Western Alaska
points. The Central Alaska plants ex
tend from Cape St. Elias westward tc
the Alaska peninsula. The far West
e'rn plants are on the shores of Bris
tol bay and the Bering sea.
About 125 salmon canneries were
Operated in Alaska last year by nearly
ninety companies. Several big con
cerns operated more than one plant,
the Alaska Packers’ Association lead
ing with ten. Libby, McNeill & Libby
were second, with nine. The North
western Fisheries Company operated
seven and the Pacific American Fish
eries Company four.
Nearly all the boats of the fishing
fl^et sail north from Puget sound, al
though one of the largest fleets, that
of {the Alaska Packers’^ Association,
makes its headquarters in San Fran
cisco bay. The Libby, McNeill &
Libby and the Northwestern company
boats winter here, the Libby boats
riding in the fresh water of Lake
Union. The Pacific American com
pany operates from Bellingham. Port
land, South Bend, Everett, Olympia,
Astoria, Anacortes and other ports
send their share of fishing vessels
north.
Five or six thousand men are going
north to spend the summer working
at the fisheries. In the fall they ,/ill
come back with the boats and the
catch. For several weeks passenger
steamers running to Alaska have been
carrying capacity lists of cannery em
ployes. The Northwestern and the
Anacortes Fisheries Company, both
subsidiaries of the Booth Fisheries
Company, will use 1,500 men in the
North this year.
