The Great Northern, newest Northern Pacific steamship, departed Philadelphia on its maiden trip to San Francisco via the Panama Canal. Notable passengers include Norman K. Mack, John Ringling, John S. Pillsbury, H. H. Tammen, and A. W. Dingwall. The liner is billed as the fastest merchant ship under the American flag and the first passenger liner through the canal. It carries 500 first class passengers, features luxuries, and robust safety systems. The sister ship, Northern Pacific, undergoes finishing touches and will sail by late March. Both vessels cost about $5,000,000 each and serve San Francisco to Oregon routes, aiming to match express land speeds.
