Osaka Shosen Kaisha (OSK) “Keelung Branch Office Building”

This photo of the Osaka Shosen Kaisha Keelung Branch Office was taken during the Japanese colonial period. The building shown in the photo is the Osaka Shosen Kaisha Keelung Branch Office. To the left of the building stands a statue of Kaba-yama Sukenori, the first Governor-General of Taiwan. The statue was unveiled on March 18, 1917 (Taishō 6), which suggests the photo was taken sometime after that date. After World War II, the statue was replaced with one of President Chiang Kai-shek. The location of the photo is near today's Keelung Railway Station, at what is now the Gangxi Street bus terminal. The Osaka Shosen Kaisha (OSK) was established in 1884. In April 1896, the company was commissioned by the Taiwan Governor-Gen-eral's Office to operate an official shipping route. The following month, it launched a regular passenger line between Keelung and Kobe. Over time, routes expanded to include ports in China, South China, Southeast Asia, and Korea. On May 6, 1899, OSK opened its Keelung Branch in Ershawan, and later moved it next to the railway station (now the Gangxi Street bus terminal). The new branch office building was inaugurated on June 15, 1914. Meanwhile, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK Line), founded in 1885, opened its Keelung Branch on September 3, 1896—right next to the OSK office. In September 1897, NYK was also authorized by the Governor-General to operate the Keelung–Kobe route. The OSK Keelung Branch Office building was severely damaged during air raids in the final stages of World War II. 

大阪商船株式會社「基隆支店廳舍」

這張大阪商船株式會社基隆支店的照片拍攝於日治時期。

畫面中的建築即為「大阪商船株式會社基隆支店廳舍」。建築左側可見台灣首任總督樺山資紀的銅像。該銅像於1917年(大正6年)3月18日揭幕,故推測此照片拍攝於該日期之後。戰後,該銅像被更換為蔣中正總統像。照片拍攝地點位於今日的基隆火車站附近,即現今的港西街公車總站所在地。

大阪商船株式會社創立於1884年。1896年4月,接受台灣總督府委託,負責「命令航路」的經營。隔月即開通基隆至神戶的定期客運航線。此後,航線逐步拓展至中國、華南、南洋與朝鮮等地區。

1899年5月6日,大阪商船於二沙灣設立基隆支店,後來遷至基隆火車站旁(即今日港西街公車總站)。新廳舍於1914年6月15日舉行落成典禮。

與此同時,成立於1885年的「日本郵船株式會社」於1896年9月3日在基隆設立支店,地點就位於大阪商船基隆支店旁。1897年9月,日本郵船也獲台灣總督府授權,經營基隆至神戶的定期航線。

該棟大阪商船基隆支店廳舍在第二次世界大戰未期的空襲中嚴重毀損。

1962 

戰後,原大阪商船株式會社所在地(今基隆公車總站),於 2023 年轉型為 We.R, 延續其作為基隆港重要節點的地理與文化角色,並於港西岸重新啟航。 鄰近的原日本郵船基隆支店建築,也從歷史航運基地轉型為今日的「陽明海洋文化藝術館」, 成為城市海港文化再生的重要見證。 

After World War II, the former site of the Osaka Shosen Kaisha Keelung Branch—now the Keelung Bus Terminal— was reimagined as We.R in 2023, continuing its role as a key node in Keelung’s harbor heritage and reemerging along the city’s western shoreline. Nearby, the former Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) Keelung Office has also undergone a transformation, now serving as the YM Oceanic Culture & Art Museum, symbolizing the city’s cultural rebirth rooted in maritime history.
