NotesOn August 11, 1919, the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company launched the steamer "Snoqualmie" at its Seattle shipyard on Harbor Island. The vessel was named for the Snoqualmie Tribe, in honor of its friendship with pioneer settlers and its war record in service to the United States. This photo shows some of the tribal members who traveled to Seattle to take part in the launching ceremonies.

Photographer Frank Nowell was active in Alaska in the 1890s and early 1900s and in Seattle from 1903 until his retirement in the late 1940s. He was the official photographer for the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. (Charles T. Hommel, A Guide to Historical Photograph Collections in Seattle, p. 36-38.)
