Scope and content
On September 26, 1941 on the City Waterway, Mayor Harry Cain presents a 40 foot boat to the 34 members of Sea Scout Ship #100. The boat is a gift from the Tacoma Active Club, of which Cain is a member. He ceremoniously presents the keys to Skipper D.K. Cook. Pictured left to right are Norton Gordon, Ken Stenberg, Mayor Cain, Skipper Cook, Bartlett Rummel, and an unidentified man. The boat is a US Navy sailor, which the Scouts plan to rebuild into a cabin cruiser and rename the "Active Scout." (T. Times 9/25/1941, pg. 12)
