  • The Alaska Packers Association
    [5a,5b,5c] The Alaska Packers Association Salmon fishing has been going on for as long as there have been salmon and bears. However, humans became intrigued with the idea of reaping where you have not sown just a little after the bears figured it out. West coast entrepreneurs realized the potentials of organized and systematized salmon fishing and not too many years after the Civil War there were planned and organized fishing runs coupled with cannery operations that took salmon fishing to new heights. Dozens of small firms jumped into the salmon canning business. Initially, it seemed that the salmon were inexhaustible. Reality quickly altered that perception as competing fishing and canning companies rapidly depleted Columbia River salmon, Puget Sound salmon, British Columbia salmon, and even Alaska salmon. There was enough profit to be made if costs could be contained and competition managed. Enter a conglomerate (later sneeringly called the “salmon trust”) of the Alaska Packers Association (APA). Organized in 1893, the Alaska Packers Association combined several small canning operations into one that indeed controlled about two- thirds of all the salmon canning on the west coast. With an unerring focus on the profit margins, the Alaska Packers Association hired the cheapest labor (Chinese, Filipino, Italian, Mexican, native Alaskan) and operated their canneries in the least costly manner. They established brand loyalty and recognition and marketed recipe books, similar to Betty Crocker cookbooks—only using salmon—to increase demand. Doughboys in World War I ate canned salmon, and the Association’s success rate was measured by market penetration from North Dakota to Texas and California to New Jersey.

  • Star of Chile Ex La Escocesa Ex Coalinga Ex Roche Harbor Lime Transport Ex Scottish Lady
    [#42] Star of Chile ex La Escocesa ex Coalinga ex Roche Harbor Lime Transport ex Scottish Lady Rig: Iron 3-masted ship Launched: 1868 End: 1960 Built: Dundee, Scotland by the Gourlay Brothers Shipbuilding Co. Dimensions: 202’ x 34.2’ x 21.8’ Tonnage: 1001 tons La Escocesa sailed in South American waters, Shanghai, San Francisco, Manila, etc. La Escocesa ’s first master, David Evans, married and took his bride on the ship’s maiden voyage. Eventually, Evans’ whole family lived on the ship and a son-in-law was one of La Escocesa’s officers. The good captain died aboard ship in 1898, and was succeeded by his son. After a partial dismasting, La Escocesa was converted to a bark and upon leaving the shipyard collided with a tow and capsized. Sold by British owners to coal interests in San Francisco, the ship was again repaired and came under U. S. registry as Coalinga . As Coalinga , the bark sailed up and down the coasts of western North and South America hauling cargoes of coal until 1901 when the Alaska Packers Association purchased Coalinga . The Alaska Pacers Association sounds like a cooperative group, but it was in fact incorporated under the laws of California. At the time of the purchase of Coalinga , the Alaska Packers Association had already begun to replace its aging fleet of wooden schooners and down easters with iron, and still later, steel sailing vessels.
