The Great White Fleet, or Atlantic Fleet, was sent by President Teddy Roosevelt on a peacetime goodwill tour around the world beginning December 16, 1907 and ending February 22, 1909. On May 23, 1908, the fleet arrived in Seattle for a four day visit, including a parade on May 26th. The parade had an attendance of over 300,000 people and included members of the Army, National Guard, and fraternal orders.
