Lumber Corgo Reqches Ooklqnd Agoirr by'Olson Line
The pre-war days of .the old Coos Bay Lumbef.Company cargo operation at Oakland were relived again IV[zy 5, wheu the flagship of the Olson steamship fleet, the George Olson, nu{ged its way up to the 9th Avenue Pier.
Strangely enough,rthe cast was much the same: The 9th
Avenue Pier was the site of the old Coos Bay cargo yard; the George Olson formerly sailed under the Coos Bay banner as th; "Castletown"; even the lumber cargo was from the same mill, now operated by Georgia.Pacific Corporation.
Georgia-Pacific, working closely with Oliver J. Olson & Co. lines, recently began-ofiering pool shipments as well as straight cargo ioadJto Bay area ind Soulhern California dealers. All Gebrgia-Pacific cargoes originate at Coos Bay, Oregon.
Although the Oakland shipment was the first in over 15 years, lumber has been moving regularly -through the Port of Redwood City since last December 10, when GeorgiaPacific and the -Olson lines teamed up to drof a partial cargo there for O'Neill Lumber Company.
Another large cargo shipment, to be divided among se-veral Bay area-yards, was scheduled to arrive at Oakland's 9th Avenue Pier as we went to press.
