Steamship menu: Steamer T.C. Walker - California Navigation & Improvement Company circa 1885

Physical Description: 1 item 20 x 13 cm

Historical note

Description from dealer: "The California Navigation & Improvement Company was formed in 1854, establishing steamship routes in San Francisco Bay as well as on the Sacramento and San Jacinto Rivers [archivist's note: don't think the San Jacinto River is correct]. In part, it was a consolidation based on ruinous competition between rival steamboat companies during the height of the California Gold Rush. In 1864, the company offered the first route between San Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands. The T.C. Walker, a stern-wheel steamer of 787 gross tons, launched in 1885 (though there are reports that the steamer was first commissioned in the mid-1860s). It plied the waters of the Sacramento Delta, and met its demise in the Suisun marshes , and its hulking wreck served as the clubhouse for the aptly named Poop Deck Gun Club.
