About this Item

"This handy route map and time card was published around 1912 to advertise the Navy Yard line of the Puget Sound Navigation Company. One side presents a simple map of the path between Colman Dock in Seattle to the U.S. Navy Yard, with stops at Pleasant Beach, Port Orchard, and Charleston. Surrounding locations of interest are labeled, including Fort Ward, Luna Park, and the Old Soldier's Home. An unidentifiable cartographer's mark can be seen in the lower right. The verso lists departure times for each stop, fare rates (50 cents, half for children 5-12), and the Navy Yard route steamers in operation - H.B. Kennedy, Athlon, and Tourist. The Kennedy was put into action in 1910, and the Athlon was sold in 1914, helping to narrow the date of the publication. Source." Sheet Width (in) 5.75 Sheet Height (in) 2.75 Condition Description Very faint wear and light toning around the outer edges, consistent with age and use. Near fine overall.
