1948ref. 232471948. Seattle freight yard fire photo archive documenting the destruction and emergency aftermath of a rail served maritime industrial site in 1948. The photographs center a burned yard associated with the American Hawaiian Steamship Company a major intercoastal carrier that linked Pacific ports with Atlantic and Gulf Coast trade and maintained a substantial presence on Seattle's waterfront during the first half of the twentieth century. Rather than isolating a single ruined structure the group shows the working system around it: street access fire response rail lines lumber storage cargo handling space and the industrial buildings that tied Seattle's urban growth to port commerce. Photo archive of 6 black and white photographs each 3" x 4.5" Seattle Washington studio stamp en verso dated December 4 1948. The images show a broad debris field of charred timbers collapsed framing burned posts pooled water and smoke rising across a freight yard crossed by railroad tracks. Two views prominently include the sign for American Hawaiian S.S. Co. while another visible sign reads Keystone Steel & Wire Company placing the site within Seattle's maritime industrial district. One street view shows fire hoses snaking across wet pavement toward the still smoking yard and another frames a group of men in long overcoats and hats standing at the edge of the destruction surveying the scene. Utility poles warehouse buildings sidings stacked material and the hillside cityscape beyond the yard anchor the fire within a dense industrial section of Seattle shaped by port traffic and rail distribution. Seattle's maritime industry shaped the city from its earliest waterfront settlement into a major Pacific port where rail lines piers warehouses and steamship companies made Elliott Bay the engine of urban growth and commercial expansion. Minor edgewear and curling. Overall very good condition. These photographs preserve a short concentrated record of emergency aftermath on a working Pacific Coast waterfront at the start of the postwar shipping era when Seattle remained a major junction of rail and ocean transport and steamship firms still occupied prominent waterfront facilities. unknown

1889ref. 11467Seattle: Journal Publishing Co 1889. First Edition. Single leaf. Good. 11 x 18 in. P. 1 printed recto only. Age toned single mellowed horizontal crease five-inch vertical closed tear from the top edge with aged cello tape repair verso small edge chips. Single-page issue of the short-lived Seattle Morning Journal published the day after the fire leading with the headline: "IN ASHES Seattle Sorely Visited by Fearful Fire." With their headquarters destroyed the Journal staff had temporarily moved into the printing office of Benjamin Baker Dearborn. While the competing but long-established Post-Intelligencer on the same day incorrectly attributed the origin of the fire to an overturned glue pot in McGaugh's sign shop the Journal reports here "It is learned that the fire started in the carpenter shop under the sign works. A workman was melting glue with a gasoline lamp and the lamp exploded." This report has withstood historical scrutiny but has gone unrecognized. Seattle's commercial Daily Trade Journal was started in 1888 but within a year had changed owners dropped "Trade" from its name and expanded focus to include daily local events. The Seattle Directory for 1889 lists the editor as E. W. S. Tingle. While the self-described Democratic-leaning paper survived the Great Fire the paper was only printed into the mid-1890s.Meany Newspapers of Washington Territory 48-49. A very scarce item of Seattleana. Now housed in a clear archival sleeve with acid-free backing. Journal Publishing Co unknown
