One of our return trips to Gig Harbor in the early 50's was on board the freighter-passenger ship Denali. We left right after Christmas and crossed the Gulf of Alaska in fairly stormy weather. When we heard the first "boom" we were a little worried, but one of the crew explained that the constant booming was because the ship had a flat bottom .When we got off the ship in Seattle, it was absolutely terrifyng driving on the freeway after living in Valdez and leaving behind the slow pace that everyone traveled.
