| Title | Makah sailing canoe, 1900 |
| Photographer | Wilse, Anders B. |
| Studio Location | United States--Washington (State)--Seattle |
| Date | 1900 |
| Notes | The Makah Indians built large ocean-going canoes which they used for whale hunting and for voyages around Puget Sound. By 1900, when this photo was taken, Makah canoes shared the waters with many large steamships and sailing craft. This photo, taken around 1900, shows two traditional vessels whose time is passing: a Makah sailing canoe and a large three-masted sailing ship.

Norwegian-born Anders Wilse moved to Seattle in 1890 to work as a surveyor and engineer. After photographing the building of the Great Northern Railway through the Cascades and working as a cartographer, Wilse turned to commercial photography in 1897. In 1900, Wilse left for a visit to Norway and never returned. (Carolyn J. Marr, "Anders Beer Wilse: Photographer of the Pacific Northwest and Norway." Columbia 8, no. 4 (Summer 1994): 24-29.) |
