This article surveys the Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s transpacific steamship business during the six decades after its inauguration in 1867. The company played a crucial role in facilitating transpacific movements to and from the United States in a period leading up to U.S. colonization of the Philippines and other insular territories in the Pacific. By examining the company and government records, contemporary press coverage and pictorial images, and first-hand accounts of steamship travelers, I argue that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s operation of the transpacific ocean liners revealed the inherent tension within U.S. society’s dealings with the Pacific Ocean and a global empire. In the steamships’ physical space and cultural images, the elitist desires for transpacific commerce collided with popular demands against transpacific migration. The formal acquisition of colonial possessions across the Pacific and immigrant restrictions at the turn of the twentieth century would eventually domesticate, to a degree, the tension within the transpacific connections and redirect the company's business to enrich and exploit the new imperial connections.

With money raised from children, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions purchased a ship in 1856 to support a mission to Micronesia. Drawing from children’s literature, newspaper articles, pamphlets, and missionaries’ letters, this article follows the “Children’s Mission Ship,” or Morning Star, from Boston to Ebon Atoll in the Pacific. It argues that missionaries viewed the Pacific not as a border or vast empty space, but rather as a “sea of islands” and as contiguous with “missionary settler archipelagos” throughout the Hawaiian Islands and North American continent. The article further argues that stories from the ship and the Micronesian mission helped forge a multi-generational capitalist and Protestant public that enacted and enabled subsequent American missionary and United States imperial expansion in the Pacific. This article is part of a special issue of Pacific Historical Review, “Religion in the Nineteenth-Century American West.”
1856年,美国外事使团委员会(American Board of commissionofforeign Missions)用从儿童那里筹集的资金购买了一艘船,以支持前往密克罗尼西亚的使团。从儿童文学,报纸文章,小册子和传教士的信件中,本文跟随“儿童传教船”,或晨星,从波士顿到太平洋的Ebon环礁。书中认为,传教士们并没有把太平洋看作一个边界或广阔的空间,而是把它看作一个“岛屿的海洋”,与遍布夏威夷群岛和北美大陆的“传教士定居群岛”相连。文章进一步认为,这艘船和密克罗尼西亚使团的故事帮助形成了一个多代的资本主义和新教公众,使后来的美国传教士和美国帝国主义在太平洋扩张成为可能。本文是《太平洋历史评论》特刊“19世纪美国西部的宗教”的一部分。

In the 1930s, agents from Mexico’s secret intelligence agency began to investigate reports of collusion between a Mexican coyote named Ramón Preciado, U.S. border agents, and U.S. government officials. Migrants and residents of Nogales, Sonora, accused the man of extorting migrants, sexually assaulting women, and reporting migrants to the Border Patrol. In turn, Border Patrol agents would deport those migrants who refused to pay bribes to Preciado. However, U.S. consular officials described him as a friend of the government, an advisor, and a trusted partner. This article uses this case to illustrate how corruption in migration agencies on both sides of the border allowed migrant smuggling to flourish as a profitable business in the twin border cities of Nogales, Sonora and Nogales, Arizona. Meanwhile, both U.S. officials and coyotes profited from the deportation of migrants, and the nascent Border Patrol used these inflated numbers to champion the success of its agents in guarding the border.
