Golden Jubilee Water Carnival at Point Defiance, July 16, 1939. Crowd gathered on dock in foreground, yachts and smaller vessels in background. A ferry can be seen in the distance. At the end of the dock is the canopied throne of the Jubilee Princesses. Over 30,000 people turned out for the opening event of the Golden Jubilee. They were rewarded with a three and 1/2 hour show filled with races, log rolling, water skiing and a teaser sample of the upcoming air show by Tex Rankin.
