1979 Seattle, Chinese Ship, Liu Lin Hai Celebration, Clyde Keller Art

Liu Lin Hai Celebration
Port of Seattle Pier 86, April 18, 1979
Vice Premier of China, Deng Xiaoping
Secretary of Transportation to the United States, Brock Adams
Washington State Governor, Dixie Lee Ray

This celebratory photograph withinside the cargo vessel captures this normalization of relations. Shown are Chinese and American Dignitaries in the Captain's Dining Room on board the cargo vessel, Liu Lin Hai. The Lui Lin Hair 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 planned this celebratory photograph; the atmosphere was festive with many important dignitaries attending from the two countires 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 that marked the beginning of a new era of trade. Also pictured is Washington State Governor, Dixie Lee Ray.

This archival B&W giclee print offers an exquisite range of tonality and brilliancy faithfully capturing this historical subject. Makes a strong impression. Suitable for immediate safe viewing (the print is shrink wrapped on foam core board) and ready for framing.
