Scope and content
This aerial view of the Tacoma tideflats and Port of Tacoma was taken in July of 1953. At the upper right of center a small fleet of baby flat tops built in Tacoma during World War II are "mothballed" in the Wapato (now Blair) Waterway next to the Tacoma naval station. The Port of Tacoma is to the left of the mothballed ships. Browns Point can be seen in the upper right corner. Commencement Bay can be seen lying beyond the Port. The two streets crossing the tideftats are East Eleventh Street and Lincoln Avenue (in the bottom half of the image). TPL-2259.
