Description |
English: This image shows people boarding the Leschi, a steam ferry that operated on Lake Washington between Kirkland and Seattle from 1913 to 1950, and afterward on Puget Sound until 1967. Steamboat operations on Lake Washington eventually became almost the sole province of one firm, Anderson Steamboat Company, founded by John L. Anderson, an immigrant from Sweden. Anderson's company had over 50 stops on the lake; the main terminal was at Leschi Park, a popular resort connected to Seattle by cable car. This image comes from a photograph album entitled "The Swedes: Life and Work in the State of Washington."
