Description


Port Gamble, Washington had a saw mill in operation between 1853-1995. When the mill closed in 1995 it ended 142 years of continuous lumber production... Today this old hoist, once used to load lumber onto ships bound for ports along the West Coast of the USA, Hawaii and the Far East just sits...waiting for photographers like me to wander by and take its' picture:) Bill P.S.

Great capture Bill. You mentioned something of driving along Route 66 in 1962 in an Austin Healey. That must have been an experience. The big Healeys were the most wanted sports cars in the 60's when I was stationed at Paine Field. I had wanted to buy one when I was in SE, but I bought so much other stuff (camera and accessories, stereo and accessories) that I had only enough money for an Austin Healey 'Sprite'.

How neat is this? Lumber hoist and built from lumber, a great advert in it's day, still looks reasonably sturdy.No doubt slowly decaying below the surface, one day to fall and float down stream.Perhaps to wash up on some distant shore, were someone will take a picture and wonder at it's story.Would have been fascinating to see this under construction.
