The shops seen here are all new in the past 4-5 years, built on a dock rather than on land. Most of them are jewelry stores; Ketchikan has dozens of them. As in other cruise ports, the best (ie local) shops are blocks away from the cruise ship docks. See ExploreNorth's guide to Ketchikan for information about the community and its attractions and services.
