Title
English: Kate Borst christening the steamer "Snoqualmie," August 11, 1919
Description
English:

In August 1919, the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company launched the steamer "Snoqualmie" at its Seattle shipyard on Harbor Island. The vessel was named for the Snoqualmie Tribe, in honor of their peoples' friendship with pioneer settlers and their war record in service to the United States. Many tribal members traveled to Seattle and took part in the launching ceremonies. This photo, taken August 11, 1919, shows Kate Borst, of the Snoqualmie people, christening the steamer "Snoqualmie" by breaking a bottle of champagne against the bow.
