Scope and content
A tanker out of San Francisco, believed to be the "Tulsagas," is moored at the Associated Oil Co. terminal along the City (now Thea Foss) Waterway on May 29, 1929. She was making her first visit to Tacoma in nearly three years, this time to discharge a cargo of oil and gasoline. The air is hazy with smoke billowing from the many lumber and industrial plants in the Tideflats. Adjacent to the Associated Oil plant are Shell holding tanks and those of the Union Oil Co.
