Overall aerial view of the Port of Tacoma's new Kaiser Dome and crane located at Pier 7 on April 28, 1967. Puyallup River is in background. Log dumps and cargo ships in waterway. Alumina from Australia, substance used in the production of aluminum, will be unloaded from huge cargo ships similar to the above, drawn into the 150-foot high crane, and dumped into a hopper before being transferred by conveyor to the dome-shaped storage and load-out facility. The Port will handle alumina under contract with Kaiser Aluminum. (TNT 11-13-66, D-19, TNT 2-15-67, A-1)
