Fishermen's Terminal at Salmon Bay, circa 1918

Order an Image
For many years, commercial fishermen have kept their boats at Fishermen's Terminal, in Salmon Bay, just west of the Ballard Bridge. This sheltered area of the Lake Washington Ship Canal gives easy access to Puget Sound.

In this photo, taken in about 1918, fishermen are checking and mending their gill nets. Their fishing boats are tied up along the dock. Their small wooden boats, in the foreground, are called dories.
