Description |
English: In 1904, the Moran Brothers shipyard in Seattle launched the battleship USS Nebraska (BB-14). This vessel was the first steel ship to be built on Puget Sound and the first naval battleship to be built in the Pacific Northwest. At the launching, bands played, people cheered, dignitaries made speeches, and Mary Nain Mickey, the daughter of the Governor of Nebraska, christened the vessel with a bottle of champagne. The envelope for this invitation to the launch event is addressed to "Mr. L. B. Youngs, Supt. Water Dept." Luther B. Youngs was born in 1858 in Nebraska but had moved to Seattle by 1887. He was the superintendent of the city water department from 1895 until his death in 1923.

Young Dies While on Outing at Hope Island," The Seattle Daily Times, June 11, 1923, p.1.
