"Nearly 400 pages, thick and as heavy as an anchor, it links Bremerton to the greater Puget Sound region." -- Gordy Holt, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, June 27, 2002

Loaded with Bremerton info!,
This review is from: Bremerton and Puget Sound Navy Yard (Hardcover)
I would love to own this book - I've borrowed it from the library to learn about the town my great grandparents, grand parents and father lived in for more than 3/4 of a century. I haven't seen another book like this about Bremerton and the Ship Yard so I hope to find one for purchase.
