<p>Transcribed from postcard: "South piers 1 and 2, Port of Seattle, at the foot of Stacy and Lander Sts. On the east waterway. These piers are 750 ft. long, 90 ft. wide. The slips are 850 x 215. A four story concrete warehouse is to be constructed hear the end of the slip. Cost of terminal complete, $1,200,000. Occupied by the American Hawaiian Steamship Company." The description provided on the postcard may be inaccurate. The 1912 Baist maps shows Piers 1 and 2 at the base of Yesler Way but newspaper articles in the Seattle Times confirm the location of the Commercial Boiler Works at the base of S. Lander St.

<hr><p>Above, Seattle Public Library writes, "The description provided on the postcard may be inaccurate. The 1912 Baist maps shows Piers 1 and 2 at the base of Yesler Way…" The caption on the card is correct. Piers 1 and 2 were a totally different matter from South Piers 1 and 2. Things like this were part of why the military insisted on renumbering Seattle's piers in 1944.
