Ketchikan, Alaska

Our next stop was Ketchikan, Alaska.   It is a city with a population of 8050.  In the past it was a center of logging which ceased around 2000.  Since then tourism and fishing are its main occupations.

 A clean city by appearance.

Constant take-offs of seaplanes with bush pilots ferrying supplies and people to outlying districts and tourists for an aerial view of glaciers and mountains. 

Fishing boats would come into harbor and unload fish and then head out again.

A waterfront monument featuring people from many eras in Ketchikan history.

A totem dedicated to a leader in the past.
