#022 Matson Inc. - Connecting the Hawaiian Islands with the U.S. Mainland

Update: The Lurline and the Daniel K. Inouye Vessels are both up an running! This was a hefty $500M investment for the company! Glad to see the modernization efforts are on time and the Vessels making trips to and from Hawaii!From sending 300 tons of plantation supplies to Hawaii and bringing back 300 tons of Hawaiian sugar back to the mainland. Captain William Matson and Claus Spreckels saw this opportunity niche and filled it. From cargo to passenger ships, Matson played a pivotal role in the Hawaiian shipping and tourism industry.
