ping enterprise which developed into
the present Oceanic Steamship Co.
The son of the “Sugar King” began
his industrial education at the bottom.
From humble positions he studied ev
ery department. The need for ships
in the development of the sugar trade
which his father—a power in west
coast industry—had pioneered in Cal
ifornia and the Hawaiian Islands led
him to form a shipping concern of his
own.
In 1880, he built the first of his
commercial fleet. He put these vessels
in the Hawaiian trade and later ex
tended their scope to include Samoa,
the Fiji islands and Australia.
Mr. Spreckel’s shipping efforts were
directed primarily to extending and
broadening the sugar industry. In this
and other ventures, he was assisted
by his younger brother, Adolph B.
Spreckels, who died in 1924.
As the years passed, Mr. Spreckels
branched out into many other lines of
endeavor until his enterprises includ
ed the Western Sugar Refiining com
pany, the Spreckels Sugar Company,
the Jajaro Valley and the San Diego
Electric Railway companies, the San
Diego & Arizona Railway, the San Di
ego Union and Tribune company,
banking houses and hotels.
In sugar and shipping circles, he
was known in most of the principal
ports of the continent, particularly in
the Pacific which his boats covered.
Many of Mr. Spreckels’ ventures
primarily were for public benefit. In
addition to his philanthropies he ren
dered public service in practical ways
such as developing a water system for
sale to a city, improving a railway
which was not rendering adequate pub
lic service and financing railway con
structon when territorial develop
ment of communities was handicap
ped by lack of transportation outlet.
He was one of those who made the
Panama-California exposition of 1915
posible and in addition contributed to
it a beautful outdoor organ on which
concerts still are played daily.
Among his charitable benefactions
was the financing of a wing to the
Mercy hospital, San Diego, a gift of
more than a quarter million dollars
Yachting and music were his favor
ite hobbies. He won a license as mas
ter of sail and steam for vessels of
any tonnage. His yacht “Lurline”
was famous on the Pacific'. It was suc
ceeded by the “Venetia” which was
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment in the world war, accounting for
at least two enemy submarines.
Mr. Spreckels was born at Charles
ton, S. C., August 16, 1S53. He married
Lillie C. Siebein in Hoboken, N. J.,
in October, 1S77. Two daughters and
two sons were born to them. Mrs. '
Spreckels died in 1924.
