Description
English:

Shows the Canadian Pacific Steamship Co. at Pier 1

  • Subjects (LCTGM): Waterfronts--Washington (State)--Seattle; Piers & wharves--Washington (State)--Seattle; Canadian Pacific Steamship Company--Facilities--Washington (State)--Seattle; Sailing ships--Washington (State)--Seattle; Railroad tracks--Washington (State)--Seattle; Elliott Bay (Wash.)
  • Subjects (LCSH): Steamboat lines--Washington (State)--Seattle; Bays--Washington (State)--Seattle; Central business districts--Washington (State)--Seattle

In 1944, Pier 1 became Pier 50. Now demolished: this is part of the Washington State Ferries facility at Colman Dock.

As indicated at File:Seattle Pier 1 circa 1915.jpg, this cannot be before 1905, based on the configuration of the large open yard between Railroad Avenue and the Pacific Coast Co. pier sheds at left. That matches the 1912 Baist map's configuration for the tracks of the Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad Dept at this location. The 1905 Baist map shows a much simpler configuration.
