Scope and content
Close-up view of new Kaiser Dome and portion of new crane and conveyor system taken in late April, 1967. The Port of Tacoma had commenced a $1,000,000+ Pier 7 expansion project which included this aluminum-covered storage dome, a huge crane, and extension of the dock. Dubbed the "Kaiser Dome," the new facility would be able to hold 50,000 tons of alumina under contract with Kaiser Aluminum. This project meant that the Port would be capable to handling other bulk cargoes and a variety of other shipments. Photograph ordered by Kaiser Engineers. (TNT 2-26-67, B-11)
