SS Avalon to Catalina

I don't know who the woman in the photo is, but she is aboard the SS Avalon. The SS Avalon was originally built in 1891 as a such to carry passengers on the Great Lakes. William Wrigley Jr. purchased the ship in 1920 and used it to ferry people over to Catalina Island, in California.

The SS Avalon sank in 1964.

Photo found at an antique fair in Scotts Valley, CA.

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships. The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
