Scope and content
ca. 1966. 1966 Richards stock footage. Work continues on the expansion of the Port Industrial Waterway in 1966 as men and equipment are used to extend the waterway to Lincoln Ave., a major roadway in the Tacoma industrial Tideflats area. Water now covers the land area past the Lincoln Ave. railroad bridge due to dredging. The earth is being moved to make way for ocean-going ships. The Port of Tacoma saw major growth in 1965; 96 more ships loaded and unloaded cargo at the Port docks during the first nine months of 1965 than the same time in 1964.
