Post Card of Port Ludlow, 1865
In
1853,
William
Sayward, a
San
Francisco
businessman,
built the
Port
Ludlow
mill (Ficken,
14). In
1858, the
mill was
leased to
Amos,
Phinney and
Company
under the
management of
Phinney.
According to the US
Census, in
1860, the
town was
composed of
about
120
individuals. The
area
did not
change
until the
1870s,
when the
Puget
Mill
Company
bought the
mill and
remodeled
it (Ficken,
127-8).
By
1886, the
mill at
Port
Ludlow had
grown in
production. In the
first
business
quarter of that
year, the
Puget
Mill
Company
shipped
seven
million
feet in
lumber (Ficken,
180-1).

Description: Loggers stand in front of a large wooden cook house. The
Puget Mill Company at Port Ludlow was operated by Pope and Talbot, who also
owned the mill at Port Gamble. Mill employees were paid with company script to
be used as rent or at the company store for food and supplies. In 1938, both
mills foreclosed when they could no longer compete with milltowns that had
better railroad connections.
