A. J. Fuller. Built in 1881 in Bath, Maine, the 1849 ton, 229 foot, square rigged ship, A.J. Fuller was originally a notable Down east sky sail-yarder for the Flint & Company fleet. Purchased at the turn of the century by the California Shipping Company and subsequently by Capt- Dermot, she was engaged for several years in the Puget Sound-Australian timber trade. After the outbreak of World War I the A.J. Fuller sailed under the Northwestern Fisheries Company in the Alaskan salmon trade. On October 30, 1919 she arrived in Seattle with a full load of salmon and salt. While sitting at anchor in a dense fog, the steamship Mexico Maru entered the port on a regular trans-Pacific run and collided with the A.J. Fuller. The ten foot hole torn in the bow of the wooden ship caused her to rapidly sink. Although salvage was deemed possible the underwriters decided against it. The approximate position of the A.J. Fuller is 2000 ft offshore of Harbor Island at a depth of 240 feet. (Newell, Gordon R. he H. W. McCurdy marine history of the Pacific Northwest.Seattle Superior Pub. Co., 1966, 163, 300)

The Courtney Ford (originally a skysail brig, but rerigged late in 1901 as a three -masted schooner) was wrecked September 7, 1902 on Glen Island, Izembek Bay, her hull being still fairly intact after more than 60 years on the beach. (Gordon Newell, Maritime Events of 1902, H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest. Seattle : Superior Pub. Co., 1977, p. 84.) Eric, four-masted schooner of 574 tons and 750 M capacity, was built by Hall Bros. In 1917, the Eric was sold for $65,000 to Burns Philp Co., the Australian copra merchants, but retained U. S. registry. In December, 1923, she put into Honolulu, waterlogged, on a voyage from Clallam Bay, B. C., to Brisbane, Australia; but was repaired and completed the voyage. On her return to San Francisco, the Eric was sold to J. E. Shields of Seattle, and in January, 1925, was towed to that port. There she was sold to Sir Guy Gaunt, and went under British registry for a world cruise. John Lyman, "Pacific Coast-Built Sailers, 1850-1950" The Marine Digest. April 5, 1941, p. 2.

A repair crew is rewinding generator no.2 at the Nisqually Power Station in April 1924. Planning for Tacoma's first hydroelectric project, the LaGrande Dam on the Nisqually River, began in 1907. The project was controversial - people wondered what the city could possibly do with all the power generated by the four 6,000 kilowatt units. Construction started in Feb. 1910 and the new plant began furnishing power to the citizens of Tacoma on Nov. 6, 1912.
