A superb, bright copy of this generous history and detailed overview of the Port of Seattle, housed in a handsome binding with great shelf appeal. Prepared by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, this is one title in a series of reports on major US ports created in preparation of prospective war utilization. The wealth of information contained is astounding; the fold-out photo of the Seattle waterfront is impressive. Quite uncommon, verging on rare.
