We have probably passed the
heyday of steamshih navigation to
and from Alaska, with the high cost
of operation and the loss of the
passenger business to the airlines,
the steamships are in for a bad
time...The transition from boat to
airplane has been sudden due to the
advanced plane design coming out of
the war. We are aghat at the sheed
at which the airlines have taken
over the transhortation business.
I owever it doesn't take much imag
ination to visualize the planes
carrying all of our mail and light
freight along with our herishables
and express, with a tramp steamer
coming along once a month with the
heavy cargoes, stopping at all the
large ports from detchikan to the
Aleutians. The smaller horts will
be served by shuttle boats of pro
bably the power scow tuhe, running
up on the beach if necessári and
unloading directly onto trucks.
Things are moving fast and esheci
ally in transhortation fields.
