Scope and content
A crowd, estimated at 30,000 filled the dock and all the decks at the Point Defiance Pavilion on July 16, 1939 to watch the various spectator events at the Golden Jubilee Water Carnival. Highlights of the day included an exhibition of log rolling put on by the "World Champion" Swanson brothers of British Columbia, and a five-man boat race. (Boat No.4 is in the lower right corner.) The show climaxed with a thrilling tug boat race from Crab Point to the Pavilion. TPL-587 (T. Times 7/17/1939, pg. 1)
