The recent warm spring weather reminds us what a wonderful place Gig Harbor is. Getting out on the water is a great way to appreciate it whether by rowboat of steamboat.
You can just imagine what a fine day it is as this young girl sets out for a row at the mouth of the harbor. Suddenly, she hears the familiar chug of a steam engine and sees the Crest gaining on her and decides to drift ashore and watch it pass. The steamer was headed for Tacoma and Vashon Island in this 1905 photograph.
