The photo above was posted to a Facebook group I've joined, called Historic Olympic Peninsula, without attribution or credit. But it was so striking that I decided to re-post it here...if any viewers know where this one is from please let me know. The poster dated it to roughly 1895, and its a view of downtown Port Angeles, taken from about here and looking north. Two things jumped out at me. First, the tall ships in the harbor reminded me of my last post, which focused on tall ships anchored off of Port Townsend in 1891. Second, this photo pre-dates, but about two decades, the filling of downtown Port Angeles, which is a focus of a few of my previous posts. This view really provides a nice perspective on Port Angeles as a built-on-the-beach town. Here is the modern view (February 2022):
