In 1873, Isaac and Winslow Hall opened Hall Brothers shipyard at Port Ludlow, on the Olympic Peninsula. The firm was located next to a sawmill which supplied them with Douglas fir and other lumber for their ships. The business moved to Port Blakely in 1879 and remained there until 1903 when it moved to Eagle Harbor.
<p>This photo, taken around 1904, shows the hulls of three wooden ships under construction at the Hall Brothers Eagle Harbor shipyard. They show three different stages in the shipbuilding process. One hull (center) has only ribs, while another (right) has added planking. The third (left) looks almost ready to be launched.
