Scope and content
ca. 1924. West side of Gig Harbor in the 1920s. The Skansie Shipbuilding Co. buildings are in the center of the circa 1924 photograph. The company was formed by four Yugoslavian brothers, Pete, Mitchell, Andrew and Joe Skansie, in 1912. Skansie Shipbuilding was building ferries at the time, having completed the motor ferry "Elk" in 1921 and probably in the process of constructing the ferry "Wollochet" which would be put into service in 1925.
