"LANDED CHINESE SAILORS"
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. Originally published in 1979 by the Port of Seattle and the U.S. Feed and Grain Council. Recently used in 2010 for a promotion by the Washington State Department of Commerce for use in China.

"LANDED CHINESE SAILORS"
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. I could not have panned this celebratory photograph of the three Chinese Sailors setting foot on American Soil... it was more of a spontaneous encounter and welcoming after a lapse of 30 years of strained relations between the United States and China. The atmosphere was festive with many important dignitaries attending from the two countries including the Vice Premier of China, Deng Xiaoping, and the Secretary of Transportation to the United States, Brock Adams. The event was the result of efforts made by W. James Amoss Jr. of Lykes Bros. Steamship Co and Stan Barer, a lawyer to permit the calling of cargo ships between the two countries. The Liu Lin Hai, a COSCO cargo ship, calling upon the Seattle Port under the Chinese Flag, opened a new page of Sino-U.S. history. It was an historical turning point 25 years ago that marked the beginning of a new era of trade. Originally published in 1979 by the Port of Seattle and the U.S. Feed and Grain Council. Recently used in 2010 for a promotion by the Washington State Department of Commerce for use in China.
