Steamer "Alida," 1870 - e4d72ef0ee53393bd04c7d493e37d2b7

Transcribed from photograph: "Ships. Alida (Steamer). At wharf at foot of Columbia Street. 1870. Built in Seattle in 1860s. On Seattle to Victoria run, burned at Gig Harbor in 1890s. First Methodist Protestant Church (the 'Brown Church') at left."


Theodore Peiser presumably reprinted someone else's photograph here: he was not yet photographing in Seattle in 1870.
