Most of these ships were built elsewhere, but became a representative part of Pacific commerce, basing their operations at West Coast ports from California to British Columbia. A complete look at the Downeasters, seamen’s missions and boarding house, crimps, runners, as well as the great Star Fleet and well-known cannery vessels.
