Title: Incomplete merchant ships laid up at Seattle, Washington
Description: Photographed circa early to mid-1919. This is probably the storage facility at Seattle where the Northern Pacific Division (Washington State) of the Emergency Fleet Corporation laid up the wooden cargo ships it accepted without engines after the World War I Armistice, plus a few completed as flush deck barges. There are more than forty ships and barges in this group, most of them of the Ferris type (E.F.C. Design 1001). In the right center background are the Lake Union Brick Company and USS San Juan (ID # 1352). U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
