A stroll down Memory Lane! Queen City Docks in the 1950's (?)!
Researching another topic, I happened across an old black and white photo. My first thought was, "Hey, that marina is laid out a lot like Queen City!" Then, I looked a little more closely and noticed the SYC clubhouse across the Bay. This has to be Queen City Yacht Club, from maybe 55 or 60 years ago.
Anybody know exactly when this was taken? I'm guess the early 50's, based on the car parked at the head of Dock 2. There is no sign of Highway 520, and that was built in the 1960's, so we can be sure the photo predates that era.
Security was a bit lighter, back in the day..... not even any gates on the docks, just about anybody could walk on.
