Notes

Probably one of these ships is the barque George Curtis (a.k.a. George F. Curtis); the other could be the Oriental, also part of Libby's salmon fleet at that time. Both are referred to in H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest as having been in Seattle for Libby in 1918. The George Curtis (built 1884) sunk off of West Point Light in Seattle in 1922 [1]; the Oriental was retired by Libby in 1925
