Description |
English: Founded in 1889, the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company was also called Puget Sound Bridge and Drydock, Associated Shipbuilders, and Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company. The company participated in most major construction sites in the Pacific Northwest, including the construction of Harbor Island at the mouth of the Duwamish River in Seattle. Lockheed Shipbuilding continued to build ships ranging from dredges, tugs and ferries to mine sweepers, ice breakers and guided missile frigates, mostly for the Navy, Coast Guard, and the states of Washington and Alaska, until their closure in 1988. This photograph of the exterior of the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company office building on Dearborn Street in Seattle was taken on April 23, 1923. This area south of downtown Seattle was originally made up of tidal flats; soil dredged from the Duwamish River and sluiced from the Denny triangle and Beacon Hill regrades was used to create this industrial area needed by area businesses and railroads. It is from an album of photographs documenting Beacon Hill and construction around Seattle in 1923, probably of projects by the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company. All of the photos were taken by noted Seattle photographer Asahel Curtis. Inscribed on negative: Office, 10 Ave. S. and Dearborn St., April-23-1923
