Steamship link to Vladivostok eyed from Seattle port
A Seattle effort to establish a steamship line to Vladivostok gains traction with $13 million subscribed in Russia and $1.5 million expected in the U S for eight vessels flying the Russian flag. Two ships would sail from New York to St Petersburg, and two from Seattle or San Francisco to Vladivostok, with freight savings of about 60 percent. Seattle's advantages include rail connections and closer proximity to Windirontock, reducing coal and voyage costs as Siberia and China develop. Local businessmen urge action to capture this regional commerce.
