Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Eight-page folding brochure measures 4" x 9", unfolded, 8" x 9". With elegant color lithograph cover showing the SS Sightseer cruising in Elliott Bay. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Saddle-stapled. Although undated, reference to the Aurora Bridge (George Washington Memorial Bridge), built in 1929, suggests a mid-1930s publication date. Wear along folds, with staples slightly oxidized. Small chip the size of a nickel on the top fore-edge corner of the last page. Based in Leschi Park, the company operated the Mosquito Fleet ferries between Madison Park and Kirkland, Mercer Island ("East Seattle") and Medina, service that was prominent and vital prior to the construction of Lake Washington's floating bridges. Among vessels in their fleet were the SS Dawn and the SS Sightseer. The firm used the Canadian National Dock at the foot of Marion Street for their Elliott Bay port. Photos of waterfront mansions are of special interest. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 3457

Unpaginated, c. eight pages (four leaves printed front and back), complete. A few small black-and-white illustrations (including a map), complete. Brochure is very clean and intact except for light age toning and slight wear to extremities. A Very Good copy. Charming brochure that promotes water tours in Seattle, Washington through the Circle Tours Company. Text is relatively brief but describes information about the tours, types of tours offered, and points of interest. Part of the text takes readers on a tour of what one might see on one of Circle Tours Co.'s expeditions. For example, the text describes sights such as local ships, Smith's Cove Docks, Lake Washington Canal and Lock, Lake Union, University of Washington, the Stadium, Lake Washington, the Harbor, Aviation Field, ferries on Lake Washington, and the eastern shores of Lake Washington. Brief text in back commends the residential life and horticultural industries of the area. Also included in back is information about "special trips" and time tables for the Lake Washington ferries.
