Tacoma's wharves were crowded in late January of 1922 with many ships taking on and discharging cargo. A large steel sailing ship, the "William T. Lewis," was photographed berthed at Terminal Dock. The four-masted vessel was discharging a shipment of nitrates from South America. The thirty-year-old bark was under the command of Capt. N.P. Carlson and had survived an attack by a German submarine during the Great War. G50.1-099; TPL-2306 (TDL 1-26-22, p. 1-article; Tacoma Sunday Ledger 1-29-22, 6A-alternate picture; 10E-article)
