ca. 1973. 1973 Richards stock footage. Closer aerial look at shipyard on the Hylebos Waterway, believed to be Tacoma Boatbuilding who had constructed a $3,000,000 plant there after the disastrous fire of 1968 which had destroyed their Sitcum Waterway facility. The Hylebos location now provided 20 acres of space and held separate buildings for aluminum fabricating, steel fabricating, administrative and engineering, and warehouse for equipment. Several boats are pictured above docked at the 300-foot pier. TPL-6583

ca. 1973. Copy of customer drawing ordered by RC W. Joint Venture c/o Bindon & Wright Architects, Seattle. This is an artist's concept of a proposed apartment complex called "Nineteen Broadway North" situated on North 1st St. between Broadway and "E." The 16-story structure would have beautiful views of Mount Rainier and the waterfront. Construction of this high-rise would begin January of 1974 with completion date scheduled in the spring of 1975. 36 individual homes, with prices ranging from $33,000-81,000, would be offered by builder Cawdrey & Vemo, Inc. of Seattle. The concrete framed-tower's front entrance would be on Broadway. "Nineteen Broadway North" was the second announced condo complex in the past four months: already under construction directly across "E" St. was the "One Stadium Way North" building.

ca. 1973. Copy of customer artwork ordered by Tacoma Boatbuilding on April 6, 1973. The colored drawing is of a Navy prototype vessel, Aerojet's Air Cushioned Amphibious Assault Landing Craft (AALC). It appears to have two pilothouses which are both occupied. Two other similar vessels are on dry land along with a tank. Tacoma Boatbuilding had built and outfitted the 100-ton prototype craft, the "SES-100A," which was christened in July of 1971. It had recently announced that it would build the AALC for the Navy. However, it was announced in the News Tribune's December 21, 1973, issue that the contract to build the 167-ton aluminum-hulled craft was shifted from the financially troubled Tacoma Boatbuilding Co. to Seattle's Todd Shipyards. The craft, capable of reaching 50 knots in 3-foot waves, was due for completion in 1975. (TNT 3-22-73, C-11- article; TNT 12-21-73, A-3)
