Port Elliot Bay was chosen as a good place for a port by Arthur Denny and Carson Boron in 1852.Arthur Denny and Carson Boron sounded the bay with a clothesline and horseshoe. Henry Yesler was the person who started the first wharf in Seattle. After 1853, when Henry Yesler started his small wharf in Elliott Bay. Henry Yesler helped start the ‘’Mosquito Fleet’’,small steamers that carried passengers and cargo. Because of this Seattle turned into a, ‘’major supplier of services and important cargo.’’

Port When new port commissioners replaced old ones they started buying tidelands, docks, and improving facilities. In 1911 King County voters agreed on a formation of a Port of Seattle Commission, providing public control of the water front. The King County Voters approved of a Port of Seattle on September 5, By 1989 Seattle had more steamships than any other port in the Puget sound area, and will soon be the sixth busiest port in the world.

ShipBuilding The first shipbuilding yard was the Moran Brothers shipbuilding yard. The shipyard built ft steamship for the Klondike Gold Rush alone. Most Shipyards were located in lumber yards, the most popular was the Hall Brothers operation.

Ferries Seattle’s first fleet was the Mosquito Fleet,a group of small steamers that served as ferries and cargo carriers across lake Washington. The Mosquito Fleet was the preferred water travel of the time. Two of the largest barges shipped passengers and cargo between Seattle and San Francisco.

Fishing For centuries, the Columbia River was filled with salmon. There were three different species of Chinook Salmon, sockeye, Coho and chum salmon, the heaviest over 60 pounds! Indians depended heavily on salmon for food and trade. They used channels and weirs, platforms with dip nets and spears to catch a huge numbers of fish in a short amount of time. In 1866, brothers William, George, and John Nume, along with Andrew Hapgood, began operating a small cannery at Eagle Cliff.

Fishing The fishing canneries of Seattle lost about 300 cans in the first year but still managed to produce around 4,000 – 5,000 cans in the first year.
