Scope and content
Aerial view of the Tacoma tideflats and Port of Tacoma. High tide. Prominent in the picture is the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co. lying to the right of E. 11th Street in the foreground of the picture. Commencement Bay is to the left of 11th St., to the right is almost 1500 acres of vacant industrial land that Tacoma hoped to develop. The Port Industrial Waterway can be seen to the left rear of the picture. The city wanted to dredge this body of water for a deep water channel and collect premium prices for the vacant 1 1/2 miles of land lying beside it.
