English: Ship leaving for the Alaska gold rush, Seattle, ca. 1905 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: After gold was discovered in the Klondike and in Nome in the 1890s, people flocked to Seattle to load up on supplies and catch ships to Alaska. The stampede to the gold fields continued for more than a decade. This photo, taken from a Seattle pier in the summer of 1905 or 1906, shows a crowd on a ship headed to Alaska. Given the date of the photo, the men are probably traveling to Alaskan gold fields rather than the Klondike. Handwritten on verso: Headed North to Klondike (note the Derby Hats).
