Description
English:

This view of the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company shipyard, taken on September 20, 1917 shows a four-masted schooner and other vessels under construction. The yard is filled with stacks of heavy milled lumber from the Pacific Northwest's huge trees. Shipyard workers used the hoists (left center) to lift the lumber and move it from one place to another. This photograph is part of an album of Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Co. projects; many of their projects were documented by noted Seattle photographer Frank H. Nowell. Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company (later Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company) was established in Seattle in 1889 as a branch of the San Francisco Bridge Company. In its earlier days, the firm built many wooden ships, including sternwheeled steamboats for the Yukon gold rush and multi-masted freighters.

Inscribed on negative: SEP.20-1917 Embossed on recto: Frank H. Nowell, 1212 Fourth Ave., Seattle, U. S. A.
