Vancouver BC to Ketchikan, AlaskaAug-Sept, 2002Vancouver, BCA view of the "Golden Gate" like bridge that spans the water way that leads to Vancouver.
AlaskaKetchikan, Alaska - On the Inside PassageYears before the arrival of white man, the native Tlingit
people set up camp at the site of the present-day Ketchikan and they fished for
the mighty salmon during the summer months. Overtime camp grew into a
fishing village that spread along the shoreline in the shape of an eagle in full
flight -hence the areas original name: Kitschk-him, or "Thundering Wings of an
Eagle." Because of its proximity to the mountain range behind it,
Ketchikan is no larger than four blocks wide and 14 miles long. Many homes
in this area can be seen hanging off the side of steep cliffs and along the
waterfront. The street seen from the ship is the main boulevard of this town.
Ketchikan is the fourth largest populated city Alaska with about 16,000 and is connected by water and land to the rest of the states. There is a total of 75 miles of roads on the island; about 31 of those our asphalt and tar roads, the rest are dirt roads.
The Tongass National Forest, covers more than 16 million acres, it is a national
forest that is the largest in United States of America. Located within a couple
of miles of the town of Ketchikan this forest has become a very important part
of the economy and life of people living in the area. Tongass national forest is
a temperate rain forest which means that it is more likely that it will rain in
this area rather select not rain. This did not disappoint us on the day that we
were in Ketchikan because it did rain the entire time that were there. We've
learned more about Ketchikan and Tongass national forest at the South East
Alaska visitor center. Creek Street Entrance
"Mountain Man?"
Access to the Internet was expensive on the Legend of the Seas, but we had a full day at sea and the Inside Passageway.
