Title
English: Port Blakely and lumber mill, ca. 1902
Description
English:

In the 1870s, Port Blakely was a small sawmill town on Bainbridge Island. By 1890, the mill was one of three on Puget Sound that could produce 100 million board feet of lumber per year. Logs were bound together in rafts and floated to the mill from lumber camps up and down the sound. In this photo, taken sometime after 1902, a sailing vessel is being loaded with lumber at Port Blakely. Stacks of lumber are air drying in the foreground. Log rafts float in the background. Lumber from the Port Blakely mill was shipped to Hawaii, Australia, South America and elsewhere.
