Scope and content
June 4, 1966, aerial view of portion of Tacoma Tideflats featuring the Tidewater Oil Co. with Puget Sound Plywood plant in rear. Tidewater's winged "A" is clearly visible on one of the large storage tanks on the Tacoma plant's property. Located west of the Middle Waterway, the close proximity to water would make transport of oil products from its docks efficient. Oil could also be loaded onto trucks or by rail. Photograph ordered by Tidewater Oil Co.
