The Alaska Steamship Company j
will place its big steel liner Alaska i
In the Panama canal route between j
this i*ort and Philadelphia next No
vember.
Official announcement of the com
pany's Invasion of the canal route^
was made yesterday afternoon at Its
headquarters in the Column building.
The debut of the Alaska in the ca-|
nal route is destined, according to)
shipping experts, to rank as one of
the greatest developments of the vearj
in Seattle shipping. The vessel will
cater to pleasure seekers. She will
also carry freight.
The Alaska will have the distinc
tion of being the first Seattle owned
ship to Invade the canal route on re-!
gular schedule.
The Alaska will sail from Seattle
November 15 on her first voyage in
the canal service. If the development
of business Justifies, the company will
place a second passenger ship on the
route, and also will add whatever
freighters It can spare.
The route adopted by the company
for the new service follows- From j
Seattle to the Panama canal via San;
Francisco. San Pedro and San Diego; j
through the canal to the Atlantic,
then to Kingston, Jamaica; from King
ston to Santiago, Cuba; thence to Ha
vana, and from Havana to Phi'cdel
pliin. -On the return voyage the s iip
will retrace her course. The company j
plans to allow Its passengers t« leave
the liner at Santiago and travel by!'
rail across Cuba to Havana, where'
they will rejoin the vessel.
On the return half of the firs* voy-i
aye the steamship will sail from I’hila
delphia December 15. On the second
voyage she will leave Seattle January
15, and Philadelphia February 15.
Besides the ports already named,,
the Alaska will call at Panama anil
C'jJan »vt!l remain :i day Jn each
of her ports of call, thus giving herj:
passengers ample time to go sightsee-;
ing ashore. j
In the eatial route the Alaska will
receive only first class passengers, j
and the number of these will be limi
ted to 150. She Is ideally suited for;
the tourist trade, having only two
berth staterooms in her first elas sac
commodattous. Her speed is fifteen
knots and under her schedule she
will be able to make the voyage from
one terminal port to the other in
thirty days.
The Alaska Steamship Company pur
chased the Alaska in San Francisco
last winter. At that time she was
known as the Kansas City. Following
her arrival here the company expen
ded nearly $150,000 in alterations and
Improvements for the comfort of pas
sengers. , She was built in Chester,
Pa., and before coining to the Pacific
Coast operated in the West Indies
trade ou' of New York and Philadel
phia. After her transfer to San Fran
cisco she was employed In the Ha- j 4
waiian service out of the Golden Gate..
