trade between California and the world. Part of the
great Cape Horn Fleet, she ran that stormy passage
17 times. In 1906, named "Star of Alaska," she be-
gan a 25 - year hitch carrying cannery workers to
Alaska, and salmon back to San Francisco. Named
"Pacific Queen” in 1933, the vessel had a bumpy
career as a "pirate ship" for 20 years. Then bat-
tered and sick, she was bought by the San Francisco
Maritime Museum in 1954, and restored to her orig-
inal glory through a community effort of some 18
Bay Area unions and 90 business firms.
