Scope and content
Skiers from the Seattle Skiquatics Follies entertained the crowd on August 29, 1948 in the waters in front of the Top of the Ocean. The water show was the second annual extravaganza sponsored by the Tacoma Athletic Club (TAC). In the center of the photograph is a flat barge in the water, possibly used as a staging area for the show. To the right of the barge is a larger vessel. Between the two is a airborne skier being pulled by the fast boat behind and to the left of the barge.
