Cruising Alaska: May 2005

  The large scar from a logging clear-cut above suburban Ketchikan shows what one of the main economic drivers used to be (the other was fishing). Postcards of the community into the 1960s showed mills and fish plants jockeying for waterfront space. A small mill across the channel from this spot is about all that remains of the logging industry now.
