Provenance Documents in these records were created or collected by departments within American President Lines (APL) and its predecessor and subsidiary organizations. No evidence has been found of a records management program before the 1980s. The bulk of these records were assembled and organized as the APL Historical Archives by the APL Archives. Before the APL Archives was created, a variety of offices or individuals functioned as corporate repositories. For many years, the General Passenger Department retained records as part of its promotional and public relations activities. During the 1950s and 1960s, the Research & Development Department used and retained historical material in the preparation of research reports, many prepared by W. G. MacDonald, Assistant Passenger Traffic Manager in San Francisco. MacDonald, who began his career with Dollar's Admiral Oriental Line in 1924, also collected historical materials for a personal collection, which he sold to the company in 1983. Most of these records appear to have been held by their respective creators or by the General Passenger Department until a corporate archives project was begun in 1979, probably in conjunction with the inventory and appraisal of APL's corporate art collection. Around 1981 the project was designated as the APL Archives, within the Office Services Department. Pamela Petersen supervised the APL Archives until 1983, when Colette Carey assumed the role. In 1979 Pamela Petersen inventoried the archival records and produced the "APL Archives Bibliography." This inventory was updated in 1981 as "APL Archives Description and Arrangement". Both documents are found in Subgroup III, Series 5, Folder 2. W.G. MacDonald inventoried the collection he sold to APL in 1983 (Subgroup IV, Subseries 11.2, Folder 5). Neither the order nor the contents of the records transferred to San Francisco Maritime NHP in 1995 corresponded to these inventories. Materials were boxed, moved, and placed in storage between 1983 and 1995, and staff continued to use them. Some items were borrowed but not returned or were removed by collectors within the company. To the extent possible, the order of the records in the APL Archives has been reconstituted. Some records simply have been lost, probably due to moves of the corporate headquarters (1961, 1976, 1984, and 1991). Immediate Source of Acquisition Douglas Fonda (1983 accession). American President Lines (1995 accession). Processing Information Processed by Roberto Landazuri (1995 accession) and Richard Tooker (1983 accession). Completed in 1998 Agency History American President Lines, for many years the largest American shipping company in the Pacific, was formed in 1938 from the remnants of the Dollar Steamship Company. Organized in 1900, Dollar spent its first two decades in the transpacific trade as "essentially a tramp operator, whose main cargoes were bulk, low-value merchandise not suitable for the larger and faster passenger-cargo liners of the Pacific Mail Steamship Lines." [1] Both APL and Dollar traced their corporate origins to the famous Pacific Mail Steamship Company (PMSS) formed in 1848. Pacific Mail dominated stateside transpacific trade from 1867 to 1915. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company took control of the company in 1893. After the passage of the Panama Canal Act of 1912 and the LaFollette Seamen's Act of 1915, Southern Pacific Railroad began to liquidate the Pacific Mail fleet and withdraw from the transpacific trade. International Mercantile Marine purchased four Pacific Mail transpacific steamers; the remainder of the PMSS fleet and the company name were acquired by W.R. Grace & Co. As a subsidiary of Grace, Pacific Mail continued to operate coastwise service under its own house flag and purchased three new vessels with which it resumed transpacific service (and, briefly, round-the-world service) between 1916 and 1921. Pacific Mail Steamship Company officially ceased to exist in 1925 when Dollar acquired the company's name, house flag and goodwill from Grace. As PMSS withdrew from transpacific service, Dollar expanded steadily in a slow build-up to the creation in 1924 of its own permanent round-the-world service. Dollar, and later APL, based its claim to PMSS as a direct predecessor company on its assumption of the "shell" of the old company--its name and its unused transpacific and round-the-world routes. This service, along with profitable intercoastal cargo business, gave Dollar and its American Mail Line (AML) [2] subsidiary a near monopoly on U.S. shipping in the Pacific Coast. This dominance did not come without a price. As its debt grew through the 1930s, Dollar's fortunes declined. In August 1938, faced with insurmountable debt and probable foreclosure, the company entered into an agreement that its creditors felt was the best alternative to bankruptcy. The U.S. Maritime Commission acquired the 93% stock interest in the Dollar Guide to the American President HDC 279P96-007 3 Lines Records, 1871-1995 Line held by the Dollar family. As payment, the U.S. Maritime Commission assumed all debts and personal obligations of the Dollar family in the line, began to pay off the debts and to rebuild the deteriorated Dollar fleet. Based on this arrangement and a large loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the revitalized company, renamed American President Lines (APL), played a significant part in the war effort of the U.S. merchant marine during World War II. The end of the war coincided with the repayment of the old Dollar Line's last creditors and with the initiation of the Dollar Line Case, a lawsuit brought by the Dollar family in an attempt to force the government to return the now profitable company to Dollar control. The litigation dragged on until 1952, when the government sold its stock in APL, keeping half of the proceeds and giving the other half to the Dollar family. APL returned to private ownership under APL Associates, a group of venture capitalists headed by Ralph K. Davies, a former executive of Standard Oil of California. Davies had been acquiring blocks of APL stock since 1944, and helped influence the 1947 appointment of former Democratic National Committee treasurer George Killion as APL president. The two men shaped the company's direction for nearly thirty years. Killion left APL in 1966, and Davies was a major figure in the APL organization until his death in 1971. APL Associates was originally formed as a holding company but was converted to a public corporation through its 1956

  • 58 Annual Tartan Ball * April 2
    The Pibroch Official Journal of The St. Andrew’s Society of Baltimore standrewsbaltimore.org June - July 2011 * Volume 205 Issue 4 * Stuart Blair Editor 58th Annual Tartan Ball * April 2 Our 58th annual Tartan Ball, held April 2, was an outstanding success. The Boumi Shrine Highlanders Pipers and Drummers were in fine form, impressing the British Consulate guest at my table. Their renditions of the service songs for the Marines, Army, and Navy are always crowd pleasers. Our Wounded Warrior guest this year was from the Air Force, but we were unable to honor him with Wild Blue Yonder. Nevertheless we expressed, a warm outpour of appreciation for the sacrifices he has made for our country. On a further musical note, Andy McCombe did his usual outstanding job of singing the three national anthems, God Save the Queen, Flower of Scotland, and The Star Spangled Banner. A slight snafu in the proceedings occurred when our “Keeper of the Quaich” discovered he had a scheduling conflict and could not attend the ball. We didn’t realize until an hour before Al Schudel was to deliver his famous Address to the Haggis that we had no vessel into which to pour the single malt. I rushed to the kitchen and began frantically searching for a substitute, when I came upon a coffee urn lid that bore a slight resemblance to a quaich. All went well, and Al did a superb job of addressing the haggis – as always. And honestly, did any of you even notice that our “Quaich” was a coffee urn top turned upside down? After a delicious meal, Al orchestrated the ever-popular Grand March, which led directly into dancing the night away.

Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant — but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend with friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.

  • Captain Robert Dollar, Dean of Pacific Shippers Researched By: Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2013
    Stories From The Archives — Captain Robert Dollar, Dean of Pacific Shippers Researched By: Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2013. Source: Associated Press, May 16th, 1932. _________ San Rafael, Calif., May 16th, 1932 — Captain Robert Dollar, 88- year-old dean of the shipping and lumber industries died in his home here at 8 a.m. (C.S.T.) today after an illness of two weeks. The ‘Grand Old Man of the Pacific’ was known to the four corners of the earth by his fleets of merchant ships. He had been in a coma for more than 36 hours. The illness started with a severe cold which deepened into bronchial pneumonia. [His wife] Margaret Dollar was supported at his bedside by three sons: Harold, Stanley and Melville Dollar and their wives and children. March 20th [1932] Captain Dollar celebrated his eighty-eighth birthday and in a statement said the U.S. “was a fine place for those who liked to work.” His entire life had been one of activity. Born in Scotland He was born in Falkirk, Scotland, March 20th, 1844. He went to work in the shipyards and at the age of 14 with his father and brother went to Quebec, Canada, and obtained work in a [barrel] stave factory at $6 a month. When still a young man he ventured into the lumber country and Capt. Robert Dollar, 1917 eventually extended his holdings into western Canada, Michigan, California and Washington. Successful in the lumber industry, he turned to trade with the Orient, and later at an age when most men are ready to retire, actively entered the shipping business.
