The company's history began in 1892 when founder Thomas Crowley, the grandfather of current Chairman, President and CEO Thomas B. Crowley, Jr., purchased an 18-foot Whitehall boat to provide transportation of personnel and supplies to ships anchored on San Francisco Bay. The present structure, in which
Crowley Maritime Corporation is a holding company
for the business lines, was put in place in 1992.
The company is wholly and privately owned by the Crowley family and Crowley employees.
