Scope and content
Visiting Hawaiian business people at Point Defiance, Times, Burt McMurtrie. Members of the Ship Mates, the women's auxiliary of the Tacoma Yacht Club, presented Northwesern-style, evergreen leis to the Hawaiian business people who visited Tacoma on a three-day good will tour. The leis are made of cedar, fern and other greenery. The Hawaiians would follow their age-old tradition of throwing the leis overboard as an expression that they hope to return some day. While they were in Tacoma they discussed trade possibilities with members of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce. They left Point Definace for Olympia aboard a fleet of Tacoma-built Fairliners. Ship Mates names listed. (T.Times, 8/11/1947, p.1)
