Photos needed

@Ed manameans: I'm hoping you might have a better sense of the company's structure than I do at the present. I found several references to various divisions: the barge division is mentioned in one article, and I found a Coos Aviation web page indicating it is also a division of Sause Bros., as well as a reference to the Columbia River division. Is there a list of the company divisions?

I found the photo on Wikimedia Commons, but I meant to ask if you might have better photos that meet the Wikimedia criteria that you could upload? The copyright must be "explicitly freely licensed, or in the public domain."

New photo--Yay!

Coug Jenn -- Great new photo! Thanks! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:53, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sause Bros Updates

I have made a few updates to some incorrect information and dates on this page. The Columbia is not larger than the Kamakani. @Grand'mereEugene the safety record that was updated gave undue emphasis to historic events which have little to do with the company's current safety record. See other comparable maritime pages for examples such as Matson Inc. and Foss Maritime. For the sake of keeping the NPOV, I simply left it with the current safety programs and codes that the company subscribes to. Stapler45 (talk) 19:22, 29 March 2016 (UTC)Stapler45[reply]

@Stapler45: Thanks for your work. Do you have any sources to support the changes? For example, the Columbia is reported to be "slightly larger than its sister, the Kamakani" by Umpqua Post's Chelsea Davis, and Bloomberg Business reports the founding year as 1938. Was Dale Sause quoted inaccurately by Professional Mariner in the paragraph you deleted? As for deleting the info on the three accidents, in the interest of presenting a balanced history, neutral descriptions of 2 fatal accidents and a 3rd accident that affected most of the west coast of the U.S. is not undue emphasis. It's just part of the company's history. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 23:28, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
