Description |
English: While Seattle's Harbor Island was being built, the Colman Creosoting works and other industries built plants on tidal flats near West Seattle. Creosote is an oil tar used as a wood preservative. Seattle's many trestles and piers used lots of creosoted wood.
This photo is part of a larger panorama taken from West Seattle sometime between 1912 and 1917. It shows the Colman Creosoting Works on the West Seattle tidal flats, with Harbor Island in the background. The West Waterway of the Duwamish River crosses the middle of the photo. All of the trestles in this and other photos were built with creosoted wood.
