STEAMER VICTORIA HAS
 A ROMANTIC HISTORY

To the curious who seek informa- tion about the steamer Victoria. that pioneer vessed of the Seattle Nome run, and the favorite ship of the residents of the Seward Penin- sula. the following bits of informa- tion will no doubt astonish some. The Victoria is 56 years old. She was christened the Carpathia, hay ing been built for the Cunard trans Atlantic run. She was used as troop ship during the Boer war. She was built at Clyde. Scotland. and has a hand wrought iron hull (none like it today). She at one time car ried sails and used them. At the time she was put in service she was one of the largest and fastest liners on the Atlantic running between Liverpool and New York. Since leaving the transatlantic run she has seen service in nearly every quarter of the world. having run to South America, the Orient and Aus tralia, and finally found her way into the Alaska service, where she will undoubtedly remain, as she is practically the oldest vessel in the Alaska service.
