SS Yale Los Angeles Steam Ship Company 1930s RPPC Postcard Unposted EKKP

This 1930s real photo postcard shows the passenger steamship Yale, a vessel operated by the Los Angeles Steamship Company that served coastal passenger routes along the Pacific Coast of the United States.

During the early twentieth century, coastal steamship travel provided an important connection between major West Coast cities before widespread commercial air service and modern highway networks developed. Passenger liners operated regular routes linking ports such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle, carrying travelers as well as freight along the Pacific shoreline. Steamships like the Yale were designed with multiple passenger decks and large smokestacks typical of ocean-going passenger vessels of the period.

The postcard photograph shows the SS Yale underway at sea, with the long white hull and twin smokestacks visible above the waterline as smoke rises from the funnels. The ship’s name appears printed beneath the image. As a real photo postcard, the card preserves clear photographic detail characteristic of RPPC production, often used to document notable ships, transportation routes, and maritime travel during the early twentieth century.
