BLACKBALL IS A LEGACY THAT INSPIRES US....
Pioneer of Reliability
The Black Ball Line, established in 1817, was renowned for being the first regularly scheduled transatlantic packet service. This innovative approach set a new standard for reliability and punctuality in maritime travel, forever changing how people and goods crossed the Atlantic.
A Logistics Dynasty
Charles E. Peabody, a key figure in expanding the Black Ball legacy, founded the Alaska Steamship Company in 1894. He carried forward the family tradition by incorporating a variant of the Black Ball flag, ensuring the family’s influence on maritime transportation continued for generations.
A Flag That Represents Heritage
The iconic Black Ball flag, which symbolizes the Peabody and Marshall family legacy, was reintroduced by Alexander Marshall Peabody after Charles E. Peabody's death. His dedication to the legacy transformed the Puget Sound Navigation Company into what was once the largest privately owned ferry system in the nation.
Influential Leadership
Captain Alexander C. Marshall, a key player in the Black Ball Line, was celebrated for his exceptional seamanship and leadership. His command of various vessels and commitment to excellence played a crucial role in establishing the line’s esteemed reputation in the shipping industry, a legacy that continues to inspire today.
