Old Days Grim Sailing Luxuries of Today Praised
Emile Genereaux, veteran captain for Pacific Far East Lines, recalls 1915 life aboard a sailing ship. Seamen earned $25 monthly for 12-plus hour days, cramped bunks, grease lamp, self-provided gear, and harsh conditions. Unions later improved quarters, pay now $600-$700, better food, rooms, and facilities. Genereaux sailed into leadership, later serving in salvage at Pearl Harbor, then port captain and master for PFE ships. Now skipper of Leilani awaiting reassignment after a voyage.
