Description
English:

This portrait of Gertrude Van Doren Hardenberg was taken November 7, 1918 at the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company shipyard at the launch of the steamship Blakeley. The Blakeley was a 4,000 ton wooden steamship, the first ship contracted with PSB&DC by the U. S. government. Gertrude Van Doren Hardenberg was the sister of George E. Hardenberg, secretary of the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Co. This photograph is part of an album of Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Co. projects; many of their projects were documented by noted Seattle photographer Frank H. Nowell. Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company (later Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company) was established in Seattle in 1889 as a branch of the San Francisco Bridge Company. In its earlier days, the firm built many wooden ships, including sternwheeled steamboats for the Yukon gold rush and multi-masted freighters.
