Seattle waterfront at Pier 4, ca. 1898.

Description

Transcribed from photograph: "Seattle Waterfront. Ca. 1898." Pier 4 was located between Spring and Seneca St.

If "Webster & Stevens" is accurate, it can't be before 1902. Independent of that. the ship here, the Tampico, was launched in 1900 and definitely never in Seattle before 1901 when it first entered the Pacific, so it can't be earlier than that. The Tampico was regularly in Seattle from 1907 to 1911 when it sank. Also, this configuration of Pier 4 appears to be the pier that replaced the short-lived White Star Dock that collapsed September 14, 1901. University of Washington Libraries says "between 1907 and 1911".

Date

between 1901 and 18 May 1911
