Summary
| Description |
English: Men operating an "Iron Chink" at the processing plant of Pacific American Fisheries, South Bellingham, WA, 1905 E. A. Smith's "The Iron Chink", a cleaning device marketed to replace Chinese fish canners using anti-immigration and racist rhetoric. A Chinese laborer stands beside the machine.
Additional information included inside the large print enclosure: newspaper clipping with the caption "A Chinese cannery worker at the P.A.F. Cannery in Bellingham prepares to put a salmon onto the "Iron Chink," a machine that removed the head, fins, and tail of a fish and eviscerated the innards. The advent of the machine meant the eventual disappearance of Chinese workers in local canneries. This 1905 photo details just one of the industries that helped the Bellingham area grow. Original negative and scan a part of University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections Division. |
