_Brief history of the ship Euterpe (later renamed Star of India)_
(http://www.mightyseas.co.uk/marhist/isleofman/euterpe.htm)
"....
The Euterpe was sold to American owners in 1898 and registered at San
Franscisco. In 1902 she commenced sailing from California to the Bering Sea each
spring with a load of fishermen, cannery hands, box shook and tin plate. She
returned each autumn laden with canned salmon. This carried on until 1923, when
she was laid up by her owners, the Alaska Packers Association. The Packers
had changed her name in 1906, dubbing her Star of India in keeping with their
company practice of re-naming their vessels as "Star of ....." .Five years
earlier they had rigged her down to a barque, her present rig. ..."
I came across the name Dolby in connection with fishermen and Alaska
MAYBE Dolby cans = tin cans containing fish (salmon) from or belonging to
Mr. Dolby?????
Could be far-fetched!!!!! but ????
