Scope and content
On August 29, 1948, the Tacoma Athletic Commission (TAC) drew crowds to their second annual water show in Commencement Bay near Old Tacoma. Spectators watched the water carnival from both the Old Town Dock and the decks of the Top of the Ocean. TAC offered a two hour water extravaganza featuring the water skiing talents of the Seattle Skiquatics Follies. The parking lot in the distance was filled as Tacomans flooded the area to watch the free show. Photograph ordered by Bob Sanders, TAC.
