Business

The two brothers, Albert Moe and Chris Moe (d.1966), were the sons of Iver B. Moe (1840-1927), who came from Paulsbo, Norway. They were among the first settlers of the town of Poulsbo, Washington. The family was mainly in the logging business, but also branched out into steamboats when they purchased the ''Dauntless'' and later other steamboats. They were rivals of the Hansen steamboat family, who, like the Moes, had also come from Norway.


Ships owned

The Moe brothers owned a number of vessels at various times, including ''Reliance'', ''Athlon'', ''Dauntless'', the 1906 ''Monticello'', and ''Advance''.
