The Alameda in command Of Cap
tain John A. O'Brien, Sound pilot foi
the Alaska Steamship Company, was
returning to its berth on the south
side of pier from the Standard Oil
wharf, where it had gone to take on
fuel oil.
As the big steamship approached
the pier Captain O'Brien signaled the
engine room for slow speed to enable
the vessel to make the sharp turn into
the slip. Either through a misuhder-
standing of signals or because of the
failure of the engine room telegraph,
the Alameda started full speed ahead
toward the Coleman dock.
Captain O'Brien saw that the crash
could not be averted and tied down
the whistle to warn the people in the
waiting room on the end of the pier
of their danger.
Captain O'Brien dropped both port
and starboard anchors in an effort to
stop his vessel, but it poked its nose
into the wooden structure and plowed
through, slicing off 100 feet of the end
Of the pier and emerging on the other
side, with it's deck covered with
wreckage.
The Telegraph, which had Just dis.
charged its passengers from Everitt,
was in the path of the Alaska liner
and was cut in two. The little vessel
sank slowly and the crew had time to
escape by jumping into the water. It
Is believed that all were picked up.
