Early in the afternoon of April 6, 1911, former United States President Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Seattle from Tacoma on the steamer "Indianapolis." An automobile cavalcade carried him through the city to a landing near Westlake. He then took a launch across Lake Union to the University of Washington, where he spoke to a large crowd.
