Unsolved Mystery of the Sinking of the SS Princess Sophia
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 21, 2020 Unsolved Mystery of the Sinking of the SS Princess Sophia The month of October is a reminder of the tragic sinking of the SS Princess Sophia on October 25, 1918 one hundred and two years ago. The Victoria-based ship transported passengers up the coast to Skagway, Alaska stopping at several coastal communities along the way. The shipwreck is the largest marine disaster along the northwest coast of North America and resulted in the unfortunate loss of everyone on board. David Leverton, Executive Director of the Maritime Museum of BC has had an active interest in the marine disaster for many years and has co-authored a book with Judy Thompson that looks at the shipwreck and the background of the known passengers and crew who were onboard at the time of the sinking.i Mr. Leverton stated that, "the 100th Anniversary commemorating this event helped to increase public awareness about the story and we still continue to learn more about the mystery of what happened including the story surrounding the fate of the lone dog that was known to have survived the disaster." 634 HUMBOLDT ST., VICTORIA, BC, V8W 1A4 | 250-385-4222 | mmbc.bc.ca Several months after the tragic sinking, The Alaska Daily Empire on Thursday, March 6, 1919, reported that a small dog had been found two days after the shipwreck covered in oil in Tee Harbor which is about 20 miles away and that it had been living at the nearby Auk Bay Cannery. On March 14, 1919, The Alaska Daily Empire reported that the dog had been positively identified as a thoroughbred English Setter belonging to Captain James Alexander and his wife Louisa. -

Tikhanov, “Kolosh family from Sitka Island,”1818, Sitka, КП-610-Р-2113, Russian Academy of Arts Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia. Message from the President: ith the pandemic still forcing us to take extra precautions, this year’s Alaska Historical Society meeting will be “virtual” and our participation will be via Zoom technology. Rachel Mason, program chair, and her committee are making every effort to make the delivery of a full program Was seamless in delivery and as full in content as possible. I know we all feel a bit like the women in Downton Abbey who put the reality of change so clearly, “We really are living in a modern world”. Please see the draft program in this newsletter. There you will find a full slate of papers and panels on key issues and there will be the Society’s annual business meeting, awards presentations, and memorial session honoring our colleagues who died this last year. As the conference sessions were being finalized, news came that Dr. Beverly Beeton, invited to speak on women’s suffrage in Alaska, unexpectedly died. We are saddened by the news and are working on an alternative. In addition to the program information in this newsletter, I also direct your attention to the Advocacy Committee report and statement on monuments and statues. This committee has been extremely active promoting the advancement of history, preserving reasonable access to valuable records, and encouraging thoughtful recommendations on historical interpretation in public places. Please join us for the annual meeting from the safety of your home. -
Spearin Family Compiled by Bruce A
Spearin Family Compiled by Bruce A. Fowler Hartland Historical Society 2017 (Updated 2019) Information for much of the lineage of John Spearin I has been difficult to find due to the lack of details on the early Census Reports of 1790 through 1840 and a general lack of other typical sources such as birth, death and marriage certificates. More details will hopefully be added when they become available.

Salvage of the Langdale Queen
DELTA TUG & BARGE LTD. SALVAGES HISTORIC VESSEL LANGDALE QUEEN By Capt. Don Rose On the 24th of December 2008, while moored in the Fraser River, the former BC Ferry “Langdale Queen” sank due to a heavy snow load on her deck. The salvage operation was headed up by Mitch Hughes General Manager of Delta Tug & Barge Ltd., along with Andrew Johnson of Global Rigging, Ted Hill of Hydra Marine and Mark McAllister of McAllister Marine Survey & Designs. To salvage the Langdale Queen all that was available was local equipment not originally intended for salvage work. Therefore some typical Canadian ingenuity was required to make do with available equipment. Vessel history: 300 feet long, 58 feet wide with a hull depth of 20 feet: The Langdale Queen O. N. 195485 has a very long and colourful history. Built in 1903 by William Cramp & Sons as the “SS Asbury Park” for service between New Jersey and New York. Photo #1: (See photo #1) In 1918 she sailed via the Panama Canal to San Francisco Bay and was renamed the “SS City of San Sacramento”. While in San Francisco her configuration from the main deck up was changed to load and discharge vehicles from the bow and stern. (See Photo #2) She sailed in San Francisco Bay until 1941, when she sailed to Puget Sound. There she sailed on the Seattle Bremerton run. In 1952, Black Ball Ferries Ltd acquired her, had her rebuilt at Yarrows Ltd at Esquimalt, BC. She was renamed Photo #2: “Kahloke” and repowered with four sixteen-cylinder General Motors diesel engines producing 6,560 BHP.
