Scope and content
The cargo ship Wildwood, owned by the American Steamship Co., unloads her controversial cargo at Commercial Dock on April 8, 1940. The ship had been bound for Russia, but turned back in mid Pacific, fearing a British blockade. Her $4,500,000 cargo was unloaded and left in Tacoma for Amtorg representatives to call for. (T. Times 4/8/1940, pg. 1)
