In 1888, the officers of the
Henry Bailey included Capt. Sam Denny, mate Peter Falk, Engineer Frank Zikmund, and purser
Joshua Green. Green induced the other three men to join together in business, and they eventually formed, with the participation of George J. Willey, a hay in
grain merchant, to form the successful shipping concern known as the
La Conner Trading and Transportation Company. ==Notes==
