Tug Pulling Log Boom

This looks like a tug boat pulling a log boom to one of the mills on Lake Union in Seattle. You can see a sign on the shore that says Violet Ray, that's a brand of gasoline that was sold on the west coast. This is a still from a reel of 16mm movie film dated 1939. The film is Kodak Safety Film with the oo code that indicates a date of 1919, 1939, 1959 or 1979. Since 16mm film didn't come out until 1923 that eliminates the 1919 date. By the look of lake union with the saw mill I think that eliminates the 1959 and 1979 dates. The film is in very bad condition, broken sprocket holes, wrinkled and suffering from vinegar syndrome (VS). All I could do with it is take these still images, it wouldn't feed through a projector very well.
