Scope and content
In late June of 1925 the Japanese "turret" ship "Taiyu Maru" was docked at the Port of Tacoma. With her curved sides, raked mast and narrow decks, she was an unusual sight. The "Taiyu Maru" had been in service for more than 25 years and according to her captain, K. Okamoto, was one of only five "turret" ships still afloat. The 450-foot vessel was to return to the Suez Canal with a cargo of Northwest fir ties to discharge in Egypt. Photograph ordered by the Port of Tacoma. G49.1-091 (TNT 6-26-25, p. 22)
