Jasper Stahl (1844-1909) - Captains and pilots of CPRR steamers

From: "Heidi Cavagnolo" hcavagnolo@gmail.com

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.

They were:
1893 Sonoma
1893 Aurora
1898 Onward
1901 Onward

Do you have a list of the steamers that were owned by CPRR and/or a list of the pilots/captains of the ships that CPRR owned between 1871 and 1909? ...
