Contemporary limp pebbled leather post-binder yapp edges nickel-plated screw posts at gutter margin rounded corners wear rubbing w/o spine wear & minor loss to couple corners still a G exemplar with photos in excellent condition. This remarkable promotional photo album provides a series of photographs documenting the impact of the explosion of development interest in Florida during the Roaring 20s by offering a visual record over 11 years of the building and opening of the Port of Fort Pierce. The album opens with an image dated May 8 1921 showing the last 100 yards to be cut for the a 100 foot wide and 4 foot deep channel the Tuscawilla dredge finishing the last portions of the cut and finally the opening of the Fort Pierce Inlet to the sea which would scour the channel to a depth of 12 feet. A photo dated April 10 1924 shows the operation to dredge the inlet down to 25 feet in order to allow freighters and steamships to enter the Port. Due to erosion local interest began construction of another jetty in 1926 which is shown with railroad tracks stretching to the sea in December 1927 followed by images of the historic dredger the Corozal which had worked on digging the Panama Canal and was capable of dredging to a depth of 50 feet. Finally in Nov. 1929 the Port opened for business with the 4-masted lumber schooner Catherine Scott picking up a load of lumber for delivery to Cuba Feb. 5 1930 followed by the 2339 gross ton SS Betty Weems a Baltimore & Carolina Steamship Company freighter arriving amidst inaugural celebrations of the use of the Fort Pierce Port and opening. There are an addition number of photos up to July 1931 showing such ships as the oil tanker SS Herbert G. Wylie the SS Lillian a freighter owned and operated by A.H. Bull & Co. of New York and a number of other Baltimore & Carolina Steamships. Although the Port had been finished and opened by the end of 1929 the Great Depression and land bust in Florida resulted in such land developments as Indrio and San Lucie never being completed and the area would eventually prove successful as a Naval Amphibious Training Base during World War II with over 140000 troops trained and processed during the War. n.p., hardcover
