Alaska Steamship Company
Established in 1895, the Alaska Steamship Company plied Alaskan waters for many years hauling gold stampeders, supplies, tourists, copper and people and goods for WWII, Korea and Vietnam. In later years their focus shifted to shipping freight exclusively. In January, 1971, after 75 years in business, the company ceased all operations, making it the longest-running shipping firm in history up to that point.
