This view of the Seattle waterfront shows two sailboats docked at Bud Long's Boathouse, located just north of Washington Street, and a center for recreational boating activity in the 1880s. Frye's Opera House dominates the view of downtown beyond, which also includes the First Presbyterian Church, Territorial University, and the Central School at the far right of the frame.
