19334914Seattle & Aboard S.S. Aleutian 1933. About very good. 31pp. total. A few staples and other metal fastenings. Light wear and toning. An interesting group of promotional and shipboard material produced for an Alaska cruise undertaken by members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce in June 1933. Material present here includes two issues of the shipboard newspaper "Midnight Sun" daily itineraries authored by the captain of the S.S. Aleutian a series of three pre-cruise bulletins distributed by the "excursion committee" of the Seattle Chamber an extensive fact sheet about Alaska from the same and a promotional pamphlet for the 1933 Season of the Alaska Steamship Company under whose auspices the tour was occurring. The itineraries are quite detailed and cover the the northbound portion of the journey from Seattle to Seward. The newspapers are also very interesting and provide a complete passenger manifest as well as a mix of national news President Roosevelt signing the National Industrial Recovery Act e.g. and local interest baseball scores from the Pacific Coast League. Together these typescript documents provide a good deal of information concerning the cruise and form a cogent narrative of this "business-friendship tour" and of Alaska tourism during the Depression. unknown
