Summary
"Pacific Coast Ship China identifies and dates more than 280 china patterns once used along the Pacific coast of North America in coastal, intercoastal and transPacific services. It covers china used on vessels and in-shore establishments of shipping organizations registered in Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Hawaii." "In addition to passenger vessels, it documents the china used by freighter operations, oil companies, government services and yacht clubs. An important feature of this book is a chapter containing brief histories of 73 companies and government agencies that operated ships on the Pacific coast." "This easy-to-use guide is an important resource for collectors, divers and anyone interested in the history of Pacific-coast transportation or commerce."--BOOK JACKET.
