Vividly colored portrait of the Kalakala, a reknowned Art-Deco style ferry that ran daily excursions between Seattle-Bremerton from 1935 to 1967. The red-and-black Blackball Line (Puget Sound Naval Company) flag is prominently displayed at the top front of the ship, where a few people stand on the deck. This sturdily constructed ship did indeed prove itself unsinkable during its years of service, surviving a number of collisions and usually causing far more damage than incurring any itself. After being used for over 30 years as a seafood processing plant in Alaska, the ship also survived the trip back home to the Puget Sound in 1998, where it awaits possible renovation.

Printed on back: With light cattle on the Plains in pioneer days, shoeing was not so imperative; but with a heavy team (nearly a ton each) of 1906 the case was different and caused much anxiety and care. Once, on the summit of the Rocky Mountains and above the clouds we had to throw the Dave Ox to get a shoe on him; two shoes to each foot; nailed into the hoof, same as with the horses; shod 17 times during the whole trip.

Printed on back: The Space Needle is the most dominating feature in the skyline of Seattle. It rises to the height of 600 feet and is topped by a restaurant which revolves 360 degrees every hour. About 260 persons can be served. An observation deck and snack service is also atop the Needle for those who wish to feast mostly on the tremendous scenic panorama. This structure represents a private investment of nearly $4,000,000.
