Inside Passage
Cruising the Inside Passage
The Inside Passage is a coastal route for ships and boats along a network of passages which weave through the islands on the Pacific Northwest coast of the North American Fjordland. Ships using the route can avoid some of the bad weather in the open ocean and may visit some of the many isolated communities along the route. The Inside Passage is heavily travelled by cruise ships, freighters, tugs with tows, fishing craft, pleasure craft, and ships of the Alaska Marine Highway, BC Ferries, and Washington State Ferries systems. Coast Guard vessels of both Canada and the United States patrol and transit in the Passage. wikipedia

Klawock
Klawock, Alaska
Klawock's first settlers were Tlingit who came from the northern winter village of Tuxekan. They used it as a fishing camp for the summer period. The name "Klawock" is derived from the Tlingit name Lawá, the man who founded the community. In 1868, European Americans opened a trading post and a salmon saltery; some years later, in 1878, a San Francisco firm opened the first cannery in Alaska. In the following decades, several others were established. A United States post office was established in 1882. The 1890 census recorded the town's population as 260. The population was 755 at the 2010 census Wikipedia

Haines
Haines, Alaska
The original Native name for Haines was Deishú, meaning "end of the trail"; it was named by the Chilkat group of the Tlingit. The name is derived from the fact that they could portage (carry) their canoes from the trail they used to trade with the interior. The trail began at the outlet of the Chilkat River and went to Dtehshuh; portaging saved 20 miles (32 km) of rowing around the Chilkat Peninsula. Many tourists visit during when there is an annual appearance of bald eagles in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve between October and February. Haines has the largest concentration of bald eagles in the world at that time. Each May, Haines holds Alaska's longest running beer festival with over 1,500 visitors and breweries from Alaska and Yukon. Wikipedia

Sitka
Sitka, Alaska
Sitka means "People on the Outside of Baranof Island." Russian explorers settled Old Sitka in 1799, naming it Fort of Archangel Michael. In June 1802, Tlingit warriors destroyed the original settlement, killing many of the Russians, with only a few managing to escape. Sitka was the site of the transfer ceremony for the Alaska purchase on October 18, 1867. Russia was going through economic and political turmoil after it lost the Crimean War to Britain, France, and the Ottoman Empire in 1856, and decided it wanted to sell Alaska before British Canadians tried to conquer the territory. Russia offered to sell it to the United States. Secretary of State William Seward had wanted to purchase Alaska for quite some time, as he saw it as an integral part of Manifest Destiny and America's reach to the Pacific Ocean. While the agreement to purchase Alaska was made in April 1867, the actual purchase and transfer of control took place on October 18, 1867. The cost to purchase Alaska was $7.2 million, at 2 cents per acre. Wikipedia

Hubbard Glacier
Cruising Hubbard Glacier, Alaska
Hubbard Glacier is a tidewater glacier, meaning it flows from its source in the mountains to the sea, where it calves icebergs into the ocean. Spanning over 76 miles in length, Hubbard Glacier is the longest tidewater glacier in North America. Unlike many glaciers worldwide that are retreating due to climate change, Hubbard Glacier has been thickening and advancing since it was first mapped in the 1890s. Hubbard Glacier’s history include a massive iceberg calving in 1986, which temporarily dammed the Russell Fjord and created a large lake. online-field-guide.com

Homer
Homer, Alaska
Homer is on the shore of Kachemak Bay on the southwest side of the Kenai Peninsula. Homer was named for Homer Pennock, a goldmining company promoter, who arrived in 1896 on the Homer Spit and built living quarters for his crew of 50 men. However, goldmining was never profitable in the area. Its distinguishing feature is the Homer Spit, a narrow 4.5 mi (7.2 km) long gravel bar that extends into the bay, on which is located the Homer Harbor. Much of the coastline, as well as the Homer Spit, sank dramatically during the Good Friday earthquake in March 1964. After the earthquake, very little vegetation was able to survive on the Homer Spit. The only road into Homer is the Sterling Highway. Wikipedia

Anchorage
Anchorage, Alaska
Anchorage is the most populous city in the state of Alaska. With a population of 291,247 at the 2020 census, it contains nearly 40 percent of the state's population. Due to its location, almost equidistant from New York City, Tokyo, and Murmansk, Russia (straight over the North Pole), Anchorage lies within 10 hours by air of nearly 90 percent of the inhabited global north. For this reason, Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is a common refueling stop for international cargo flights and home to a major FedEx hub, which the company calls a "critical part" of its global network of services.
