Pacific Coast Company [USA]

[Roderick Smith]

I was perusing a friend's copy of this book.
It lists all of the vessels in the company's fleet, so I have extracted a list of the paddlesteamers.  Most had come from other companies, or passed to other ones.
I have not recorded the tech specs.  Some were wooden; some were iron.

The company routes stretched from southern California to Alaska.
Most were side wheel; I have used SWPS to indicate those which were stern wheel.

Roderick, I knew I had found some pictures of the Ancon, I just couldn't recall where I had filed them. Well, here they are;
