Description |
English: This clock, built by the E. Howard Co. of Boston, was installed at Seattle’s Colman Dock in 1908. The clock served as a beacon for land and water travelers, its four 54-inch dials lit from inside. On the evening of April 25, 1912, the steamship Alameda slammed into the dock and the tower sheared off, fell onto the Alameda, and then into Puget Sound. The clock was reinstalled in a new, taller tower after its repair, but that structure was replaced with a more modern building in 1936 and the clock put into storage. The broken and rusty clock was rediscovered in a warehouse 1976, restored to mint condition and reinstalled at Colman Dock in May 1985.
