Books Exploring Puget Sound & British Columbia . Includes charts that cover Olympia, Washington, north on the east inside passage of Vancouver Island to Queen Charlotte Strait. Full color aerial photos enhance the historical charm of this book and its index of over 3, 000 locations is extremely helpful. Read about the shoot-out on Skagit Island with one of the members of Butch Cassidy s Hole-in-the-Wall gang or about how some excellent fish weighing up to 200 lbs. each inspired Capt. Vancouver to name the coastline adjacent to the Fraser River. Before this classic historical atlas was republished in 1994, used copies of Stephen Hilson s Evergreen Pacific Exploring Puget Sound & British Columbia sold for up to $150. This reissue of Hilson s nautical atlas contains reproductions of government charts that are filled with historical anecdotes. This is another Hilson atlas that will truly inspire dreams about voyages taken in the past and dreams of voyages to be made in the future.

The history of impressive battleships, aircraft carriers, and submarines on Puget Sound has been well chronicled. However, the story of the smaller, fast patrol and rescue boats that have protected its vast inland waters is largely unknown. This book, through more than 200 rare images and engaging text, reveals the fascinating story. It covers Navy, Coast Guard, and Army Air Force craft in the sound, including the famed patrol torpedo boats of World War II. Featuring evocative photographs from the National Archives, as well as veterans' personal collections, this book highlights these military craft, their proud crews, and essential wartime and peacetime operations.

The recent listing of Pacific salmon under the Endangered Species Act has led to substantial interest in the scientific basis for river restoration in the Pacific Northwest. Millions of dollars in state and federal funding have been programmed for habitat restoration efforts to stem the decline of salmon populations in the region. This volume addresses the need for a solid understanding of fluvial processes and aquatic ecology in order to predict both river and salmonid response to restoration projects. In the Pacific Northwest, as in most regions of the United States, we are still learning about the processes that create habitat and river structure, how those processes influence aquatic ecosystems, and how to gauge the response of river systems to both land-use changes and restoration efforts. River systems are still responding to historic changes, and degraded habitat may not be restored successfully if natural conditions are not well understood, particularly if massive changes in watershed hydrology or other processes are the root cause. These issues faced in the development of regional river restoration programs are by no means unique to the Northwest, and so the initiation of a regional program of river restoration provides an opportunity to evaluate the state of river restoration in general. The eighteen chapters of "Restoration of Puget Sound Rivers" - presented by the region's experts at a symposium of the Society for Ecological Restoration - examine geological and geomorphological controls on river and stream characteristics and dynamics, biological aspects of river systems in the region, and the application of fluvial geomorphology, civil engineering, riparian ecology, and aquatic ecology in efforts to restore Puget Sound Rivers. This volume will be of interest to geomorphologists, aquatic biologists, civil engineers, planners, and all those interested in the interface of science and policy in addressing one of the fundamental environmental challenges of the twenty-first century.

HO scale, ships, boats, Merriwether Lewis Stern Wheel Logging boat Kit#129 / from Comstock Carshops. Steam era tugboats like our split stern wheel Columbia River logger, played a crucial role in the growth of the lumber industries in British Columbia and in the United States Pacific Northwest. These small vessels towed log rafts and heavily laden log barges from far upriver, to the sawmills and harbors along the way. This waterline craftsman kit is loaded with highly detailed resin castings, decals, and numerous metal detail parts. The overall size is 3-1/4" {23 scale feet} x 14" {101 scale feet}. If desired, the instructions show how the vessel can be selectively shortened by approx. 17 scale feet. The kit also comes with a base stand with a full lower hull, that can be used for model display when the boat is not in use on the layout or water front. Resin, wood, & metal kit.

This engaging pictorial history tells of the tall sailing ships that came to the Pacific Northwest beginning in the mid-1700s. Met by native Salish people, the ships brought Spanish, British, Russian, and American explorers, as well as settlers and entrepreneurs, to the region. Over the next two centuries, during boom and bust periods, these majestic vessels have continued to ply the waters of Puget Sound. Today the proud tall ships operate in a training and education rather than commercial context; however, the commitment to preserving and promoting their heritage remains strong within the region, as well as throughout the United States and around the globe. This groundbreaking book features 180 rare photographs and illustrations that chronicle the colorful history of tall ships on Puget Sound.
