| Title | Whaling ship Fresno on fire in Meydenbauer Bay, Bellevue, April 4, 1923 |
| Photographer | Unknown |
| Date | 1923 |
| Notes | The whaling schooner Fresno caught fire early in the morning on April 4, 1923. After the ferry Leschi failed in its attempt to pull the burning boat away from the dock, a tugboat eventually succeeded in towing it out. Three other whaling boats were pulled safely away from the burning ship. The fire was allowed to burn itself out, as no equipment was available to extinguish the flames.
