| Description |
English: Entrance to Gig Harbor circa 1921. The sheltered harbor was discovered and chartered, according to Jack Evans' "Little History of Gig Harbor, Washington" by the crewmen aboard Capt. Ringgold's ship "Porpoise" in 1841. The men were part of the (Capt.) Charles Wilkes U.S. Exploring Expedition. The first white settlers came to Gig Harbor 26 years later and started the area's non-native fishing industry. This view of the entrance to Gig Harbor taken circa 1921 shows several small wood houses mostly on the left that were built close to the water. Other homes are located in the distance on the right. Rowboats were used to travel from one side to the other. (Evans, Jack R., "Little History of Gig Harbor, Washington, p. 1-article) |
