The "Nonsuch." An authentic replica of the "Nonsuch," 17th century sailing ship bearing both English and American flags, arrived in Tacoma on September 15, 1972, for a four-day public display. The 53-foot ketch was primarily built of solid English oak although her 37-foot keel was English elm. She had 6-foot anchors with wooden stocks and 2000 square feet of canvas sail. Ornate carvings decorated the ship; they were the work of Jack Whitehead of the Isle of Wight. The "Nonsuch" was built in Great Britain in 1968 for Hudson's Bay Co.'s 300th anniversary celebrated in 1970. Since that time, she has traveled to many American and Canadian ports. The $175,000 vessel's eventual home will be the Manitoba Museum of Man & Nature. Photograph ordered by the Washington State Historical Society.

Mrs. Edith Hild sits at the wheel of her 1954 Plymouth Savoy parked at Steven Motor Company, Chrysler and Plymouth dealers on August 17, 1972. Steven's manager Pete Lisicich notes the very low mileage (14226) for the 18-year-old car. The Hild family drove the car less than 15.5 miles per week. Despite the fact the car only traveled about 1000 miles a year, the family brought it in to Steven Motor every fall for complete inspection and maintenance service. The low miles and pristine condition made Mrs. Hild's Savoy the top choice in a national search for the best 1954 Plymouth to be presented to singer Johnny Cash. He had once owned this same model when he first began singing. Mrs. Hild received the keys to a new 1973 Plymouth in exchange for her car. Photograph ordered by Young & Rubicam, Detroit.
