Costuming in Seattle

(An Historical Costuming Club)

15_Strawberry Festival

Certain Members of Somewhere in Time, Unlimited (a historical costuming group) participated in a Dress-up Opportunity on Vashon Island, WA.

The MV Lotus, a 1909 historical motor vessel from Seattle, had been invited to participate in the annual parade.  Since Lotus exceeds 90 feet in length, another wooden Chris Craft boat on a trailer was entered into the actual parade.  SITU Members and Docents of the MV Lotus distributed invitations along the parade route southafrica-ed.com.  MV Lotus could be viewed at the Quartermaster Harbor Yacht Club.

The weekend was wildly successful with over 1500 visitors boarding Lotus for a tour!  Below are images captured that day.  Click on the image itself to view a description of the scene.
