Cannaregio loading at Port piers, ordered by Chauncey Griggs. Pasquale Mazella, master of the Italian ship "Cannaregio" holds a sextant in this photograph from August of 1947. While in Tacoma he told of his wartime experiences: during World War I he lost his ship in the Mediterranean, during World War II he dodged torpedoes from American submarines and was taken prisoner in Japan after his ship was scuttled while being overhauled in Kobe and was imprisoned for three years. (T.Times, 8.7.1947, p.10)
