Scope and content
1969 Richards stock footage. View by air of new Pier 4 at the Port of Tacoma on July 1, 1969. The destroyer USS Parsons (DDG-33) is docked at pier. Long stream of people almost the length of the dock appear to be waiting to perhaps take a tour of the ship. The USS Parsons along with the battleship USS New Jersey visited Tacoma during the city's Centennial celebrations the end of June, 1969. The Parsons was a guided missile destroyer used as an anti-submarine and anti-aircraft vessel. She had sustained a minor accident while easing into Pier 4 on June 30th, smashing the pier's gangway and float. (TNT 7-1-69, p. 2)
