Summary
This image was taken on August 11, 1919 during the launch of the steamer Snoqualmie at the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company's shipyard in Seattle on Harbor Island. The vessel was named for the Snoqualmie Tribe, in honor of its friendship with pioneer settlers and its war record in service to the United States. Many Snoqualmie Tribe members traveled to Seattle and took part in the launching ceremonies. The Snoqualmie was a 5,700 ton wooden ship, about 314.5 feet long, and was one of the largest wooden vessels ever built.
This photograph is part of an album of Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Co. projects; many of their projects were documented by noted Seattle photographer Frank H. Nowell. Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company (later Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company) was established in Seattle in 1889 as a branch of the San Francisco Bridge Company. In its earlier days, the firm built many wooden ships, including sternwheeled steamboats for the Yukon gold rush and multi-masted freighters.
