Title
English: Storeroom at Pacific American Fisheries salmon canning factory, 1910
Description
English:

Bellingham Bay's first commercial salmon cannery opened in Fairhaven, Washington in 1895. By 1901, Whatcom County was home to twelve of the nineteen canneries on Puget Sound. That year, the county's 5,500 cannery workers packed 935,000 cases of salmon. At 48 one-pound cans per case, that's 44,880,000 cans. This 1910 photo, taken at the Pacific American Fisheries salmon cannery on Bellingham Bay, shows stacks of one-pound cans piled in a storeroom. The cans have been filled with salmon and are waiting to be labeled before being shipped to market. Pacific American Fisheries was one of the largest cannery companies in the Pacific Northwest.

Inventory title: 10,000 cans.
