In 1873, Isaac and Winslow Hall opened Hall Brothers shipyard at Port Ludlow, on the Olympic Peninsula. The shipyard was located next to a sawmill which provided the yard with a steady supply of Douglas fir and other lumber for the ships. Hall Brothers moved to Port Blakely in 1879 and stayed there until 1903 when the yard was moved to Eagle Harbor.
<p>This photo, taken around 1904, was taken inside the hull of a wooden schooner being built at the Hall Brothers Eagle Harbor shipyard. The workmen are smoothing the interior surface of the vessel's ribs. By 1904, Hall Brothers had built over 100 vessels for the gold rush and for the lumber and sugar trades.
