Landed Chinese Sailors
Port of Seattle Pier 86, April 18, 1979
First on shore from Liu Lin Hai cargo vessel

This historic captures highlights the official resuming of trade relations between China and the United States, April 18, 1979. Shown are the first Chinese sailors, fresh off their cargo vessel, the Liu Lin Hai, landing on the docks (Pier 86) of the Port of Seattle. The Liu Lin Hai docked at Port of Seattle's Pier 86. The event was historically important with many dignitaries attending, including Senator Brock Adams. The 637 foot Liu Lin Hai entered Washington’s Puget Sound on April 18, 1979 and tied up at Seattle’s Pier 86 grain terminal. It was the first time in nearly 30 years that a Chinese commercial vessel had entered a U.S. Port.
