	Two weeks after the final game, Bill Sheperd, majority owner and president of the Bluejackets, offered the team for sale. John Jarstad and Brian Corcoarn, Bremerton Sun sprts writers, and Linc Perry worked hard to generate finacial interest in saving the club. Jarstad wrote in his column: "We tried to hock everything we could to get our hands on $15,000. All we could get was $4,000." Wenatchee investors, about to lose their franchise, came up with the $15,000 (Kitsap County: A History (2nd Ed.)(1977). Dinner & Klein: Seattle).

1946	Bremerton Bluejackets formed. Local investors purchase stock, none owning more than $1,000 worth. Local athletic booster organizations ran and reaped profits frm concessions.

	Bluejackets played in the The Western International League and played against the Salem Senators, Spokane Indians (Brooklyn Dodgers affilitate), Tacoma Tigers (Chicago Cubs affiliate), Vancouver Capilanos, Victoria Athletes (NY Yankees affilitate), Wenatchee Chiefs, and Yakima Stars (Pittsburg Pirates affiliate). The WIL started in 1922 and played for one season before disbanding. Reformed in 1937 the league ran through the 1942 season, terminated by the start of World War II. The league resumed play with the 1946 season and ran through the 1954 season.

	"The community embraced the Bremerton Bluejackets during the summer of 1946, filling the wooden grandstands at Roosevelt Field. The Class B minor-league team enjoyed a popular four-year run before encountering front-office financial problems. Unbeknownst to most, the club was sold following the 1949 season."
