Title
English: Employees working at Wallace Equipment Co., Seattle, circa 1928
Description
English:

John Frederick Duthie (1876-1945) was born in England and immigrated to the U. S. about 1887 with his parents and siblings. Around 1899 he moved to Seattle with his wife, and the following year he opened a small shipyard, J. F. Duthie & Company, on land leased from the Port of Seattle, located on the Duwamish River's East Waterway, just north of where the SW Spokane Street Bridge is now located. The yard was enlarged during World War I to build cargo ships for the United States Shipping Board (USSB). This image was taken as builders work on a bridge at the Duthie yard. In 1928, the company had left the maritime sector and the name was changed to Wallace Bridge and Structural Steel Company, after the Duthie's oldest child, Wallace Frederick Duthie (1899-1922)"
