D163000-116C

ca. 1973. 1973 Richards stock footage. A look by air at the shipyard believed to be Tacoma Boatbuilding, located at 1840 Marine View Dr. N.E., overlooking the Hylebos Waterway. Built on a spacious 20-acre site in 1969, the shipyard was able to expand production of extra-large fishing boats as well as complete government contracts. Tacoma Boatbuilding had decided to move operations to this Hylebos Waterway location after fire had destroyed their plant on the Sitcum Waterway in 1968.

ca. 1973. Copy of customer print ordered by Tacoma Boatbuilding in March of 1973. This is a painting of a prototype Coastal Patrol & Interdiction Craft (CPIC) sponsored by the US Navy and built by Tacoma Boatbuilding. Tacoma Boatbuilding had received a $15,000,000 contract to build three patrol ships for South Korea. Two of the boats were to be built in Tacoma, and the third in South Korea.

A Slip of the Presidential Tongue
Former POW Lt. Col. John Dramesi of Tacoma presented an American flag he fashioned secretly while in prison to President Nixon Friday in the White House Oval Office. As he received the flag, Nixon kidded Dramesi, advising him to accept all the invitations to Washington dinner parties he can get. The President also had words of caution: "Watch out for some of those dogs they have you sit by," Nixon said. Then he caught himself, adding, "No, there are some very nice girls in Washington."
