Photograph of the fishing boat, Theodora, sailing through the Tongass Narrows as it approaches Ketchikan. The Theodora is viewed from above with a slight bird's-eye perspective. It sails in the water in the near distance at center and along the bottom edge. It is viewed at an angle from the side and sails to the right. Along the side of the boat at the bow, it reads, "THEODORA." Three fishermen stand on the boat; 2 are on the deck and one stands atop the ship's cabin. All appear to look to the camera. The Tongass Narrows expands behind the boat. Birds flock over the water. On the far shore, mountains are visible rising in the distance.
