Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Oregon Steamship company was organized in July of 1872, with steamers purchased from the North Pacific Transportation company. The North Pacific company would, from then on, operate only south of San Francisco, while the Oregon Steamship would operate north of the bay area. The Oregon Steamship company also purchased the entire stock of the Willamette Transportation company.
The officers of the Oregon Steamship company were Benjamin Holladay (president), Benjamin Holladay, Jr. (vice president), E. H. C. Taylor (secretary), and J. D. Biles (agent of the Steamboat Department).
