Guest speaker Jules James on The Rise of Water Flying from Lake Union
Enjoy the first days of glory for Lake Union water flying, the bustle of Bill Boeing, Eddie Hubbard, Percy Barnes and others as they pioneered commercial aviation from the foot of Roanoke Street.
Pilots in the early 1900's found water softer, smoother and
cheaper than dirt. Accordingly, Seattle was well situated for becoming the nation's trunk airmail route across the Pacific. Bill Boeing launched his race to Alaska, the Orient and beyond from a 3-bay seaplane station on Lake Union. Hear the real stories behind:
- Boeing’s Roanoke Seaplane Station: 1915- 1918
- Airmail Race to Alaska: 1918 -1935
- Birth of Commercial Flying: 1920 -1925
