Scope and content
A rare early snowfall blankets the earth in this aerial shot of the Hylebos Waterway in October of 1956. Log booms float in the water and part of the mothballed fleet of escort carriers, kept in readiness under the care of the Tacoma Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet, can be seen. Mt. Rainier is partially obscured by haze and smoke rising from the industrial sites on the Tideflats.
