This image shows a large group of people, identified as Matanuska Colonists, on Seattle's Bell Street Terminal Dock awaiting their turn to board the ship "St. Mihiel" to take them to Alaska. The photo, taken from the deck of the waiting ship, looks down on the crowd on the dock next to a light-colored building with large windows partially visible at left. The dock extends through the center of the image alongside of the building to a street in near middle ground. Water of an adjacent slip is apparent at right. An elevated street crosses the image behind the foreground buildings and a complex scene of Seattle cityscape is visible in background.
