My great grandfather was the pilot of the CPRR steamer Apache from at least 1881 until at least 1884, based on San Francisco City directories.
He was a pilot before this time and after until at least 1901. I don't know if the other steamers that he captained or piloted over the years were also for CPPR.

... I found the 1883 annual report's listing of steamers and noticed that the list included the Apache as a river steamer. Is there any document that records the ship masters in the years he mastered the Apache?
Here is some additional information,

Does anybody know the final fate of the steamer Apache? It is pictured in the Hunters Point River Boat Boneyard along with the Modoc circa 1929 but my current research suggests that is in error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know anything much about the steamer Apache other than the fact that my grandfather Jasper Stahl was the pilot on the steamer Apache in the 1880's. I would appreciate any information you might have on that steamer.

... I am also interested in knowing more about the Steamer Apache. ... Do you have a personal interest in this ship? After reading your [message], I searched for the photo of the ship in the Hunters Point River Boat Boneyard. Is it possible for you to email me the photo?

I have been able to trace the Bellmers back several generations in Germany (town of Verden in northern Germany), but still looking for the correct Stahls. Lots of Stahls but I can't find the birth record for Jasper.
