PREMIER (1935)     The 14 ton 38 foot oil screw fishing vessel Premier foundered in a storm near Coronation Island at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday October 22, 1935.  Lost in the disaster was Harold Morseth, master and owner of the Premier, and the only one aboard at the time.  The following are excerpts from the casualty report:

“About ¾ mile from mouth of Egg Harbor, off Coronation Is., Gulf of Alaska’  “Foundering during storm on Oct. 22, 1935”  “Unable to weather storm and heavy seas”  “75 to 100 miles an hour; weather thick; sea choppy”  “Master attempted to reach harbor, but at mouth of harbor vessel was struck by heavy gale of wind and capsized and foundered.”  “Assistance impossible to render”  “Master was apparently attempting to get painter of his rowboat out of Premier’s propeller.  Was seen to be working over side of vessel with boat hook during height of storm.  Master’s body never recovered.  Vessel sank in between 20 and 30 fathoms of water.  An attempt was made to raise the vessel between Nov. 30 and Dec. 18, 1935, but during entire period condition of weather and seas was such as to make it impossible for diver to work on wreck.  The attempt to salvage her was therefore abandoned at that time.  No further attempts have been made since then to salvage vessel.”

The Premier had a value of $3,500 and was travelling in ballast with no cargo.  There was no insurance.

PRINCE GEORGE (1945)     The Canadian passenger steamer Prince George stranded in the fog causing a fuel tank to catch fire September 22, 1945 near Ketchikan.  The crew of 103 men and 10 passengers abandoned ship.  U S Coast Guard and local firemen fought the blaze until the flames began threaten the dockside facilities of Ketchikan. The vessel was towed by Canadian tug General Kennedy to Pennock Island in Tongass Narrows and beached.  Fireman Verdun McDaniels was the only casualty.  The steel hulk was eventually scrapped.

PRINCE OF WALES (1928)     The 98 ton 58 foot oil screw Prince of Wales stranded and foundered at 2:45 a.m. Saturday November 24, 1928 at St Philip Island.  The vessel departed Ketchikan November 23rd with six crewmen and one passenger on board.  She was carrying 15 tons of general merchandise and mail valued at $1,000.  The following are statements from the wreck report filed by owner Ethel J Neill:

“40 mile SE wind, heavy sea, moonlight”  “St Phillips Island SE Alaska”  “Stranding and foundering”  “Helmsman allowed vessel to get off course”  “Vessel struck rock 2 hours before low water and remained fast until the rising tide floated her.  There was too much water in the vessel at this time to work the pumps or start the engine.  A temporary jib was put up and the vessel sailed across gulf to Heceta Island, where she was tied with a shore line and a stern anchor.  Two of the crew went to Heceta with the mail, Captain, and remainder of the crew went to Craig for assistance but when they returned the lines had broken and the vessel sunk in 40 fathoms of water”

The Prince of Wales was valued at $15,000.  The loss to the vessel is listed at $2,000 and cargo as total loss.  There was no insurance on the vessel but $266.73 worth on the cargo.  This vessel is seen in subsequent years back in service.  It is included in this compilation because of the evidence of the wreck that may still be on site and of interest.

PRINCESS KATHLEEN (1952)     The 5,875 ton 369 foot passenger and freight steam ship Princess Kathleen stranded and sank September 7, 1952 at Lena Point in Lynn Canal.  Strong currents, an early morning rain squall and RADAR that wasn’t working contributed to the disaster.  The vessel was on her last trip of the season traveling from Juneau to Skagway.  All 425 passengers and crewmembers were transferred to the beach in lifeboats before the Princess Kathleen slid off of Lena Point stern first and sank in 120 feet of water.  The wreck site is only a few miles south of Vanderbilt Reef where the 2,320 ton Princess Sophia sank with all hands 34 years earlier.

PRINCESS SOPHIA (1918)     The 2,320 ton Canadian passenger steamer Princess Sophia stranded on a reef in Lynn Canal October 24, 1918 and was lost with all hands the night of October 25, 1918.  Official records indicate the number of people lost in the disaster included 269 passengers and 74 crewmen.  The vessel departed Skagway bound for Vancouver and ran up on Vanderbilt Reef north of Juneau in a blinding snowstorm.  Harsh weather moved in and prevented rescue attempts soon after the Princess Sophia struck the reef. The vessel slipped off into the icy waters 40 hours later.  The only survivor was a dog belonging to one of the passengers. The loss of the Princess Sophia is the worst shipping disaster in Alaska Maritime History. At the time of the disaster, WWI was coming to an end and the Spanish Flu pandemic was in full bloom. Record keeping was strained and finding accurate or complete lists of the passengers of the Princess Sophia has been difficult.  For the purpose of compiling a list of those lost, I have consulted the following publications for names and other information:

  • Daily Alaska Dispatch of Saturday October 26, 1918 (AD26 -279 names)
  • San Francisco Chronicle of Sunday, October 27, 1918 (SFC27-282 names)
  • San Francisco Chronicle October 28, 1918 (SFC28 – 60 names)
  • Winnipeg Evening Tribune of Monday, October 28, 1918 (WET28 – 334 names)
  • Seattle Times of October 29, 1918 (ST29 -76 names)
  • Daily Alaska Dispatch of October 29, 1918 (AD29 -151 names)
  • Soldiers’ World of Vancouver, October 31, 1918 (VW31-49 names)
  • Daily Alaska Dispatch of May 25, 1919 (AD525-3 names)
  • Daily Alaska Dispatch of July 26, 1919 (AD726- 9 names)
  • Daily Alaska Dispatch of August 3, 1919 (AD803- 9 names)
  • Sinking of the Princess Sophia by Coates and Morrison (1991) (SPS-347 names)
  • org (2016) passenger list from court records (AWCR16-273 names). (AWCR16-81 names)* With an asterisk indicates the passenger is listed as an employee or employee dependent of the White Pass and Yukon Route.

I have merged the lists from the above publications and combined entries where it seemed appropriate. For example Glystra, Zylstra, Cylestra, Sylestra and Zylestra are all listed as the same person; Charles W.  …-stra. He is listed as passenger number 458, Charles W. Zylstra, with all the other spellings. I used Zylstra because that is the name used when the body was identified. The original list of spellings was well over 1,000 entries. Most of the names that follow have multiple spellings from multiple sources. Two good examples of how badly names were spelled in various publications are found with passenger #10, A. H. Alison spelled seven ways in eight sources and passenger #193, Peter B. Jurkovitch spelled four ways in seven sources. Publications where information originated are abbreviated and imbedded in each citation.  (AD26) is an abbreviation for the Daily Alaska Dispatch for October 26, 1918.

Many of the names in the following list are likely duplicate entries. The first two names are probably the same person. The same holds true for number 4 & 6 as well as 7 & 8. Conversely, number 3 may be two different people and 8 may be two different people. Numbers 7, 8 and 9 may be all the same person. Number 10 may be two different people; and on and on down the list.  More follow up would produce a more accurate representation of who was on the Princess Sophia. The reason I have published an obviously inaccurate list is twofold. First, it lends credence to the statement that the original lists fell far short of the mark for how many people were lost. This list contains 458 entries. The original official counts were between 343 and 356. Second, a published list allows internet searches to find names regardless of spelling. With the abbreviations of where name information came from, this list connects the dots for searchers. Some of the following names were left out of the original official accounts. For example numbers 59 and 62. Both Jim Cozone (spelled three ways) and Now Chin were missing from the original official lists. Both of their bodies were recovered and identified. The same is true for numbers 68, 69, 84, 96, 98 and on down the list.

The actual number of passengers and crew of the Princess Sophia is likely somewhere between the official count of 343 and this count of 458. A letter from a military man writing home from the Princess Sophia mentions 400 people on board. I tend to think that number is close to accurate.    Here is my list of people who are mentioned as passengers or crewmembers in publications subsequent to the disaster.

Soon the Coast Guard cutter Cape Hatteras arrived. Using skiffs from the two responders, the 24 Sea Scouts and crewmembers aboard the sinking Propeller were transported to the Defiant. The survivors were subsequently transferred to the motor vessel Otter and taken to Petersburg. The Propeller became a total loss.

2 Replies to “South East Alaska Shipwrecks ( P )”

  1. Under “Princess” should be:

    Princess Kathleen, 5873 ton, hit Lena point, about 20 miles NW of Juneau,9 sept 1952. Filled with water over stern, slid off & sank. No fatalities.

    Princess May, 1917 tons. Went up on Sentinal Island reef, about 30 miles NW of Juneau,

    1. The Princess Kathleen disaster is detailed in the A to Z section of this website. The “Shipwreck by Area 1740-1940” only covers wrecks from before 1940. I will be adding the rest to that section in time. For now the A to Z section is the most complete. The Princess May grounding of 1910 is not included because the vessel was not lost. The 1,000 horsepower tug William Jolliffe was able to pull her off of the reef with a 16 inch hawser. When the hawser was measured after the successful salvage effort it was only 12 inches, testimony to the force required to complete the task. When the Princess Sophia ran up on Vanderbilt Reef nearby eight years later, she suffered a much worse outcome. The Princess Sophia sat perched for 40 hours holding hope of a similar outcome. Unfortunately she slipped off in contrary weather and sank taking all 269 passengers and 74 crewmembers with her. The only survivor was a small dog.
