Scope and content
ca. 1950. Aerial photograph of the Pacific Naval Advance Base in Lakewood taken probably in the fall of 1950. Lakewood Navy Yard was the more familiar name used for the base. The U.S. Navy acquired the land to build its naval base in 1944; previously the land had been home to the Tacoma Speedway and the Tacoma Municipal Airport. Nearly twenty years later, Clover Park Vocational-Technical Institute opened their doors on part of the site. A glimpse of Mountain View Cemetery can be seen at the top of the photograph. TPL-9284
