A Pacific Northwest adventurer and transportation pioneer, Vern
Centennial Gorst was born on August 18, 1876 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In
1888, the Gorst family relocated to the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State.
From an early age, Gorst displayed an entrepreneurial spirit and a fascination
with transportation. He began his first transportation business at age 13,
moving chickens across Port Orchard bay using a log raft he had constructed
himself. As a young man, Gorst spent several successful years prospecting in
Alaska during the gold rush. Later he returned to Puget Sound to invest his
gold earnings in the arena of transportation. Over the next several decades,
Gorst set to work building a number of transportation companies, with his focus
eventually shifting to aviation when, at age 38, he became a self-taught pilot.
In 1925, Gorst's interest in flying won him a bid for the first contracted
airmail service between Seattle and Los Angeles, and Pacific Air Transport was
born. Gorst continued to be an entrepreneur of aviation, starting Seattle
Flying Service in 1928, and creating other airline companies including Gorst
Air Transport in 1929, Barnes and Gorst Air Mail, and Victoria Air Mail. Vern
Gorst died in Portland, Oregon in 1953.
Photographs by Vern C. Gorst documenting Pacific Northwest events
between 1929 and 1932. Includes images of events such as Coupeville’s
Indian Water Festival, the Ben Paris Fishing Derby, girls modeling spruce
bathing suits to promote Hoquiam, Washington's wood week, and the making of the
world’s largest omelet in Chehalis, Washington in 1921. Also contains
images of early aviation pioneers including Harold Bromley, Reginald Robbins,
Captain Frank M. Hawks, Clyde "Upside-Down" Pangborn, Cecil Allen and Don
Moyle. The collection is also peppered with occasional images of local and
national celebrities including Helene Madison, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Doloros
Del Rio, and Jack Dempsey.
The collection is arranged by Gorst's negative numbers. Where a number
is skipped, the negative was deteriorated and had to be discarded.
Restrictions may exist on reproduction, quotation, or publication.
Contact Special Collections, University of Washington Libraries for
details.
The collection is open to the public.
Processed by Holly Hernandez and Marion Brown, 2009.
Original collection consists of nitrate negatives. Modern prints were
made from the negatives in 2008. Some of the nitrate negatives were discarded
because they were deteriorated.
Information identifying the photographs was taken from handwritten
inventory lists accompanying the collection.

flight was made in Harold Bromley's "City of Tacoma", which had been
re-christened the "Clasina Madge" after financial backer John Buffelin's
daughter.
