Title

"J.L. Luckenbach " in Elliott Bay, ca. 1910

Description

Transcribed from photograph: "Seattle. Ships. Luckenbach (steamship) in Elliott Bay. Name changed to "Evergreen State" when purchased by the States Marine Lines in 1959."

The Seattle Public Library's statement about the name being changed to "Evergreen State" is almost certainly wrong. There have been several ships named "J.L. Luckenbach" (see Luckenbach Steamship Co., New York, 1850-1974 in "The Ships List". The "J.L. Luckenbach" that became the "Evergreen State" was built in 1943, so it certainly cannot have been photographed circa 1910.

Assuming the date is roughly accurate, this must be the "J.L. Luckenbach" built in 1886, although it could imaginably be about a decade off and be the one built in 1919 and named "J.L. Luckenbach" in 1922.

Date

circa 1910
