| Photographer | Unknown |
| Date | ca. 1920s |
| Caption | When Port Blakely, Washington, was a bustling lumber mill and shipbuilding town, it had regular steamer and ferry service. Even after the shipyard moved in 1903 and the sawmill closed down in 1922, ferry service continued. The "Bainbridge, " one of the area's first auto ferries, had the Seattle to Port Blakely run from 1924 to 1937.
This photographic postcard, probably made sometime in the 1920s, shows the ferry "Bainbridge" at the Port Blakely terminal. When the "Bainbridge" stopped running in 1937, the town lost its direct ferry connection to Seattle. |
