| Description |
English: A spectacular fire broke out at Seattle's Grand Trunk Pacific Dock on July 30, 1914. It was a true test of the city's fireboats. The "Duwamish" fought the fire from the south, trying to keep the fire from jumping to nearby Colman Dock. The "Snoqualmie" pumped water on the fire from the north end of the dock.
This photo shows flames and smoke engulfing Seattle's Grand Trunk Pacific Dock. The fireboat "Duwamish" is pumping water on the fire. The clock tower of Colman Dock can be seen behind the fireboat. If the clock was working at the time, this photo was taken less than twenty minutes after the fire alarm was sounded.
