Scope and content
This photograph of the Sixth Avenue ferry landing was taken on April 9, 1937, for court evidence. A railroad crossing runs before the "6th Ave. Boat House" and an unidentified restaurant. See Boland B26248 for another view of ferry slip. The ferry landing had been closed for about 15 days from March 20, 1937, while repairs (details not provided) were being made. Only foot passengers were allowed for that time and automobile traffic re-routed via Point Defiance. Later in April, a judgment was rendered against Pierce County, Washington Navigation Co., and Skansie Ferry in the amount of $7,711.22 for the death of a driver whose car plunged off the ferry slip in August of the previous year.
