Description |
English: This image of Elliott Bay faces east with spectators lining the docks and streets of downtown Seattle visible in the background. Two Native American wooden canoes with 11 men each are racing south along the shoreline. The event may have taken place during Seattle's hosting of the Atlantic battleship fleet from May 23-27, 1908, during which many entertainments were held, including a "grand Indian war canoe race with Indian crews." The Pacific Coast Company's Orient Dock, built around 1905, is seen here running parallel to the shoreline rather than at the usual northeast-southwest angle. The dock was replaced around 1920 by the Lenora Street Piers (Piers 64 and 65), and then in the mid-1990s by the Port of Seattle's Bell Street Pier and Bell Harbor complex, or Pier 66.
