Denali, Changed in Accom- modations, Is Enroute Tourist Season Looms Again improving Seattle-Alaska transportation facilities, the aska Steamship Company was ple: ed recently to introduce the steamcr Denali'to Alaska. ‘This newest mem- ber of The Alaska Line fleet, wh ieft Seattle April 26 on her maic Joyage . and sailed from ain on May 10 for her trip, was purchased from the C Line in January of this year. Form erly the Caracas, the new ship was immediate given a new name— Denali——well known in Alaska the ; mative name for Mounk Kinley. However, more changes than thal of her name were made in the Den- ali, before she was released for the Alagka service, according to L. W. Baker, traffic manager of The Al- ‘aska - Line. The ship’s passenge aecommodations were greatly im- proved, hot and cold running fresh water being added in all statergoms 1 Otner Changes “Indeed, the opening of the 1938 summer season this month many improvements in pas deeommodations aboard A a Line ships,” Mr. Baker said. urteen staterooms on C deck of the Mt MeKinley have been equipped with ‘twin beds and pullman upper berths, and six staterooms on the upper deck of the same ship were equipped with twin beds, ' pullman upper berths, and private showers, On the Beatl segond Me- Jnger Colunbia, formerly the Dorothy Al- | exander, hot and cold running fresh water was added to every stateroom not already so equipped. Year Around Service “The addition of the Denali to the fleet and the improvements made | for this season on other ships is in line ' with the constant poliey of The Alaska Line to improve Alaska transportation | facilities,” Mr. Bak- er stated. “The Alaska Line is ded- jcated to the policy of furnishing, adequate service the year ‘'round, which means that during less active periods of the year, most of the fleet is not needed. Sharp seasonal trend: which are inherent to Alaska traf- fic, mean that a large number of steamers must be held idle, ready for service on short notice, in order to setve properly the varying needs of the Territory. It is easily seen hew inadequate Alaska Lranspor- tation service would be if it were {imited only to the number of steam- ers required for steady vear 'round | operation. The Alaska Line is justly proud of its record of ever-increas- ing service to fulfill Alaska’s needs at all times.” Tourist Outlook That, the 1938 tourist season, whigh opened .the first of May and will continue through September, will be an_ exceptionally successful one, is the opinion of H. P. Peterson, gen- eral passenger agent. “Special stress has been put this year in our nat- fonal advertising campaign ‘ofi the éxceptional length of the summer deagon “in' Alaska,” Mr. Peterson said. From May 14 to October- 12, inclu- | sive, there are a total of 74 sailings scheduled from Pier Two in Seat- tle, Peterson pointed out.
