Notes & News Articles
1. "Captain Aspe Dies of Smallpox
Word was received here today to the effect that Captain J.W. Aspe has died of smallpox in a foreign port. Aspe was well known here, having sailed from this port for for over thirty years, and commanded many of the large square riggers."
(Oakland Tribune, Oakland, California, Friday, June 21, 1918, page 23)
2. "He was cremated and ashes shipped to widow, Elsea Jensine Von Aspe in San Pedro, CA. There was no family in Hawaii, so an obit not likely. The family thinks he died when ship sank."
(Per Ancestry Message board, 2006)
3. Change of Masters Registered in United States Custom House: ...Captain J.W. Aspe, ship Flying Cloud
(Oakland Tribune, Oakland, California, July 28, 1917, page 4)
4. During WWI, a trial, in which Captain Aspe was serving as a juror, was halted when the government needed the captain to command a ship.
"To Serve Patriotism- Los Angeles, July 26, 1917- Even the prime precedence of the courts and speedy dispatch of justice were set aside today the better to serve patriotism when the trial of John W. O'Day and Charles Berry, accused of fraud, was halted to permit Captain J. W. Aspe, master mariner, to answer the call of the federal shipping board. Aspe was a juror in the case and will report to San Francisco to assume charge of a government steamer." (Berkeley Daily Gazette, Berkeley, California, July 26, 1917. page 7)
5. The two largest sailing vessels in trade now-adays happen to be on the way to San Francisco and may arrive about the same day, giving old-timers a chance to spin yarns of the old days when windjammers far outnumbered
the steam craft loading and discharging at the wharves along the water front. The "Aloshulu," Captain Lancaster, squared away from Melbourne a few days ago with a cargo of wheat, and the "Flying Cloud," Captain Aspe, got under way from Manila about the same time. Both vessels are controlled by the Federal Shipping Board. (Coast Seaman's Journal, Volume Thirty-One, No. 27., San Francisco, Wednesday, March [unknown], 1918. Published weekly by the Sailors' Union of the Pacific)
6. Marine Mishaps- According to private advices received at San Francisco the bark Flying Cloud, en route from Manila for a Pacific port, has been wrecked on the Japanese coast. No details of the disaster have been received. The Flying Cloud was formerly the German bark "Ottawa" and arrived at San Francisco August 21, 1914, where she was interned.(Shipping: A Weekly Journal of Marine Trades, Volume 5, Nov 2, 1918, p. 38)
