Coast Salish canoe in Port Townsend Bay, ca. 1900

PHOTOGRAPHER McCurdy, James G.

CREATED/PUBLISHED United States--Washington (State)--Olympic Peninsula, ca. 1900

NOTES The Coast Salish style canoe with its split prow evolved for use on Puget Sound and nearby waters. Both the prow and the stern curved upwards to create an efficient and beautiful craft. The Klallam, a Coast Salish group, lived in and around Port Townsend on Washington's Olympic Peninsula.

James McCurdy was born in Port Townsend, on Washington?s Olympic Peninsula, in 1872. He spent many years of his childhood in Neah Bay and returned to Port Townsend in 1894. McCurdy was a banker, author, and active photographer, especially of the people and maritime activities of Washington?s Olympic Peninsula. He died in 1942. (Charles T. Hommel, A Guide to Historical Photograph Collections in Seattle, p. 33.)
