Bunkers and wharves at the Pacific Coast Coal Company, 1911

Order an Image
Railroad cars carried coal from the mines east of Lake Washington to the Seattle waterfront. The coal was offloaded and stored in bunkers. Then it was loaded onto ships bound for ports in Alaska or California.

In this photo, taken in 1911, a railroad car filled with coal sits at the end of the dock at the Pacific Coast Coal Company bunkers. A freighter waits next to the wharf.
