Description: For today’s show we look back into our archives and explore the stories behind the Matson name. The influential shipping line has a long and storied history in the islands. We explore those ties, and look as the navigational company moves to modernize its operation. This month, Matson's shipping lines took possession of a new ship - the Matsonia . It is the sister ship to the Lurline , which went into service at the beginning of 2020. They represent the largest and fastest vessels in the Matson fleet. Plus, we look at the connection with a famous California garden. What’s in a name? We share the history and legacy of the Matson family line, and explore the stories behind the name “Lurline.” Guests include Matson CEO Matthew Cox , Captain William Matson's Great-Grandaughter Lurline Menzies , Filoli Gardens CEO Kara Newport and Curator Julie Blythe Devere , and Lurline McGregor - named for the Matson vessel on which her parents met.
