SHIP CAPTAINS, MASTER MARINERS AND PILOTS 1850-1912

Port Townsend and Jefferson County have a long relationship with the sea. As the original customs site for Puget Sound, Port Townsend was a mecca for mariners. For references to some of these seafaring folks found in Jefferson County records, newspapers and directories.

We have microfilms of Pilots’ license applications from 1888-1910 and several good books on the maritime history of the region.
