Matson Navigation Co. struggled to dominance in Hawaiian shipping in a time when the kingdom's major companies owned their own ships.
One ace up Matson's sleeve was that he sent his schooner, the Emma Claudine, to Hilo, a port neglected by the Honolulu shippers.
From that small opening, Matson managed to steadily increase his share of the Hawaiian trade until the major companies found it more economical to buy into Matson Lines instead of owning their own ships.

 Book Review
Matson's problems derive from his apparently guideless reliance upon the extremely limited range of resources he has chosen to construct his biography of Mulholland.
By failing to treat the bases for the numerous attacks which were made upon Mulholland and the policies he pursued, Matson effectively leaves his reader at a loss to understand why this grand old man should have been controversial at all.
Matson, however, presents only a two-dimensional pastiche of the man, lifted for the most part from the recollections of Mulholland's associates, many of whom were writing long after his fall from power in an attempt to resuscitate his reputation after the Saint Francis Dam disaster and to save thereby the credit of their own careers.
