Seattle Fishermen Halibut Strike (1912, U.S.)
==Background==
The Port of Seattle was created by the state of Washington in 1911; it took over twenty years to get the port up and running due to opposing positions on the board regarding public port legislation, and economic benefits vs. downfalls. The aspect of creating the port was considered the ideal way for the public to again gain control over the waterfront of Seattle. In order for a port to be created the plan must first succumb to the Port District Act. This act requires the port construction plan to be presented to others and be voted upon; depending on approval construction could take place. Port construction began in the year 1913 beginning with the creation of a home port for the local fishermen; this terminal was completed in 1914 and became the Northern Pacific Fishing Fleets home of operations.〔Oldham Kit.

One of the biggest beneficial factors that swayed the votes in favor of creating the port was the economic growth possibilities. After the Second World War a lot of shipping overseas was cut off, bringing a stop to a large amount of global trade and ultimately negatively impacting the economy. The construction of the port created an outlet for trade and consumerism as well as becoming a booming economic outlet. The creation of the port in turn led to the expanding container shipping era created during this time. The approval and creation of the Port of Seattle lead to many expansions in trade that are still used and relied upon today in the continuation of economic growth.〔Oldham Kit.

The Seattle port currently consists of multiple docks, terminals and wharves located along the Seattle waterfront. Today the Seattle Port is one of the key contributing economic forces within the state of Washington. However, in 1912 the Seattle port was considered an aspect of political and economic change throughout Seattle. This was put to test in November 1912 when all halibut fisherman, sailing out of the Seattle-Tacoma port, went on strike.
