On April 18 th , 1906, a devastating earthquake struck San Francisco.

The city was enveloped in flames, and Tom Crowley jumped at the opportunity to help. First, he used his vessels and barges to transport people to safety in nearby Oakland and

Sausalito. Then, realizing that businesses were in danger of being looted, our founder invited bankers to store their cash and securities on his vessels out on the bay. Once order was restored, the goods were safely returned to the mainland.

It was just this kind of innovation and creative thinking that made Tom Crowley a success in marine transportation back then – and it’s what Tom Crowley Jr. continues to build our business on today. We take pride in our hard- working employees, who regularly go above and beyond their day-to-day job functions. Whether it’s solving complex supply chain problems, responding to an emer- gency situation at sea, transporting a time-sensitive shipment on one of our container carriers or deliv- ering equipment and supplies to Alaska’s North

Slope, the Crowley crew knows how to get the job done like no one else can. To find out more about

Crowley’s resourceful ways – past and present – call us at 1-800-564-9251 or visit www.mycrowley.com.
