Biographical or Historical Note: The Korea Maru and her sister ship, the Siberia Maru, were originally built by Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in 1901 for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company as the SS Korea and SS Siberia. They were sold to the Atlantic Transport Company in 1915, and then to Toyo Kisen Kaisha in 1916. Toyo Kisen Kaisha was based in Tokyo, with San Francisco offices in the Merchant's National Bank Building and used Piers 34 and 36 (now demolished and replaced by the Brannan Street Wharf). The Tenyo Maru was built 1908 by Mitsubishi Dockyard & Engine Works, Nagasaki for Toyo Kisen K. K., Tokyo and used on Hong Kong-Yokohama-San Francisco passenger services. Tenyo Maru scrapped in 1933. Both liners had a 22, 000 ton displacement and were the largest ships in the company's Far East-Pacific Coast fleet. (see http://bit. ly/1yTtMVn). The King Coal Company was headquartered at 369 Pine Street, San Francisco, with a depot located at 39 San Bruno Avenue, San Francisco. The International Shipping Digest, vol. 1, no. 1, 1922 reported that the King Coal Company was awarded half the) contract for bunkering the Toyo Kisen Kaisha fleet; the James Rolph Company was awarded the other half (page 13) (see http://bit. ly/12Y2xQT).
