ca. 1890. The original of this photograph was taken circa 1890. Several masted sailing ships are waiting to take on shipments of lumber at an unidentified dock believed to be on Tacoma's waterfront. Tacoma would become known as the "Lumber Capital of the World" due to its many sawmills and access to vast forestlands.
