Description |
English: The Port of Seattle was very busy during the 1920s. The harbor radio station, call letters KPE, was located on Pier 1 at the end of Yesler Way. Ships leaving or entering the harbor radioed their estimated arrival or leaving times and other messages to KPE. This helped the port control ship traffic.
This photo shows a wireless radio operator at the Port of Seattle.
In 1944, Pier 1 was renumbered in 1944 as Pier 50. It was eventually demolished to expand the Washington State Ferries terminal at Colman Dock. |
