Scope and content
Ole Westbo was photographed on October 5, 1936, holding his model of a Viking ship, patterned after explorer Leif Ericsson's vessel. He had just completed the carving of the ship from Philippine mahogany at his home near Riverside in the Puyallup Valley. It will be on display at the Leif Ericsson celebration in Normanna Hall on October 9, 1936. Mr. Westbo, 78 and the father of eleven, was a former seaman. He came to the Puyallup Valley in 1899.
