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 frontis. photo of Commencement Bay, featuring a sign for the North Coast Limited, is impressive. An uncommon book, verging on rare.
