Description
English: Mitchell Skansie's home in Gig Harbor with his family circa 1908. The brick and wood home included a bay window and a detached garage. Mr. Skansie at this time was about 28 years old and had immigrated to the United States in 1900. He was part of the Skansie Brothers fishing and boatbuilding dynasty along with his brothers Peter, Joe and Andrew. Mitchell Skansie had married Amanda Dorotich in 1905 who also came from harbor pioneer stock - the Dorotichs and the Jerisichs. The Skansie family's boatyard produced durable, well-built fishing boats and ferries. Mitchell Skansie also would go on to operate the Washington Navigation Co. which took over the early Pierce County ferries.
