A Poor Watch on the Walla Walla (1902)

The San Francisco Call on January 15, 1902, contained the following statement: “Captain Hall stated that he had discharged five members of his crew the previous trip for drinking on shipboard. He made the amusing statement that when he found two officers drunk during that voyage he went below in search of two quartermasters to promote to their places and found them drunk also. The captain admitted that he saw two waiters drunk on the steamship’s last voyage.”Ship Name: Walla WallaYear Built: 1881Ship Type: Steamship Nationality: United States of AmericaTonnage: 3,069Year Wrecked: 1902Location Wrecked: Cape Mendocino, California    Reason for Wreck: Collision with the MaxLives Lost: Estimated at 40 Sources: https://books.google.com/books?id=fJk3803V-qYC&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=walla+walla+steamship+1881&source=gbs_navlinks_shttps://open.library.ubc.ca/viewer/bcbooks/1.0222484#p314z-6r0f:walla%20wallahttps://newspaperarchive.com/san-francisco-call-jan-15-1902-p-7/https://newspaperarchive.com/san-francisco-call-jan-11-1902-p-3/https://newspaperarchive.com/skagway-daily-morning-alaskan-feb-19-1902-p-1/https://newspaperarchive.com/san-francisco-call-jan-26-1902-p-27/https://newspaperarchive.com/portland-morning-oregonian-jan-10-1902-p-5/https://newspaperarchive.com/san-francisco-call-jan-16-1902-p-7/https://newspaperarchive.com/san-francisco-call-jan-14-1902-p-12/https://newspaperarchive.com/san-francisco-call-jan-06-1902-p-2/https://newspaperarchive.com/portland-morning-oregonian-jan-16-1902-p-5/https://newspaperarchive.com/san-francisco-call-jan-05-1902-p-18/https://newspaperarchive.com/portland-morning-oregonian-jan-08-1902-p-5/https://newspaperarchive.com/the-evening-times-jan-03-1902-p-1/https://books.google.com/books?id=j95HAQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=walla+walla+shipwreck+1902&source=gbs_navlinks_shttps://books.google.com/books?id=Iq4PAQAAIAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=walla+walla+shipwreck+1902&source=gbs_navlinks_shttps://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=MG19020111.2.2&e=-------en--20--1--txt-txIN--------
