Scope and content
Aerial view of the Tacoma tideflats and Port of Tacoma. High tide. The road about halfway up the picture is East 11th Street as it crosses the Port Industrial Waterway. The partially completed bridge that opened in November of 1953 can be seen. In the left foreground of the picture are the baby flattops constructed for WWII and then stored here after the war. The Port of Tacoma Pier 1 lies to the right. Port of Tacoma Rd. runs from the Port to Lincoln Ave. The city of Tacoma had plans for all of the vacant land. They planned to fill it where needed and sell it to industries that needed deep water ports. TPL-2257
