On April 17, 1941, the 205th Coast Artillery anti-aircraft unit conducted defense practice at the Tacoma industrial waterfront. A large anti-aircraft cannon is set up among the trees across the highway from Rayonier Inc. The unit's goal was to protect industries, especially the shipyards, from attack by plane. (T.
