With the annual Fishermen’s Fall Festival planned for this Saturday we thought that we would take a look back at Fishermen’s Terminal over the years.
Fishing was at the heart of “old” Ballard and has always played a central role in the development of our neighborhood.
The black and white photo below, taken in 1918, shows a busy and bustling Fishermen’s Terminal. The photo features small wooden fishing boats called dories.
The black and white photo below, taken in 1920, features fishermen mending their gill nets.
The black and white photo below, taken in 1938, features fishing boats moored at Fishermen’s Terminal.
The black and white photo below, taken in 1936, features an aerial view of boats moored at Fishermen’s Terminal. Visible names on the boats are Yakutat of Ketchikan and Radio of Ketchikan.
