Scope and content
Dravis Engineering Co. employees position themselves in a company-built lifeboat at the Hooker Electrochemical dock on September 23, 1954. The lifeboat on the SS Olympic Pioneer appears to still need completion before being readied for entry into the water. Evidentially, the boat, named "Seattle", was equipped to hold 35 persons in case of emergency. Dravis Engineering was a long-time Dock Street occupant; they were mechanical engineers who handled marine and general machine design, construction and repair.
