| Golar Patricia (steamship) | While the vessels trading to Northwest ports did not approach the mammoth proportions of the super tankers engaged in the Near East bulk oil service, tonnage and cargo records continued to be broken regularly. A case in point was the Port of Olympia where, in January, the Panamanian-registered steamship Golar Patricia of 15,724 gross tons (26,000 dwt.), with dimensions of 631 by 83 feet, loaded 6.4 million board feet of logs for Japan, becoming the largest log carrier to call there. In April this record was broken by the 20,484 gross-ton Norwegian motorship Amica, 645 feet in length with a beam of 83 feet, which loaded a record cargo of eight million board feet of logs. In June the size and tonnage record for the port was again broken by the Norwegian motorship Rudolf Olsen of 22,500 gross tons and dimensions of 657 by 89 feet, which lifted 8,830,000 board feet of logs for Japan.

| Patricia (towboat) | Another modern river towboat of welded steel design, the Patricia, was launched later in the year by the Albina Engine & Machine Works at Portland for the Western Transportation Co. Of 148 tons, with overall dimensions of 88 x 21 x 9.3, she was powered by twin screws and six-cylinder diesel engines developing 400-horsepower. She was employed in handling hog fuel barges from Westport and Wauna to Camas and in towing chip barges downstream from Cathlamet, proving capable of handling as many as five barges in tandem.

| Princess Patricia (liner) | Increased public interest in summer cruises to Alaska resulted in a number of large passenger liners entering this field in competition with such established cruise ships as Princess Patricia, Prince George and those of Alaska Cruise Lines. The sleekly streamlined 12,000-ton Italian liner Italia, which earlier replaced the Princess Patricia in winter service between Los Angeles and Acapulco, began a series of eight cruises on June 3, departing from San Francisco and calling at Vancouver, Victoria, Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway.
