Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. An out-of-focus photograph of a sign posted to a dock in Seward, Alaska. The dock juts into the image from the right. A sign is tacked to the near ledge of the dock, right-of-center. It reads, "DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR · THE ALASKA RAILROAD · NO SHIPS OR BOATS OTHER THAN GOVERNMENT OWNED AND OPERATED WILL BE PERMITTED TO MOOR TO THIS WHARF EXCEPT WHEN INTERCHANGING TRAFFIC WITH THE ALASKA RAILROAD OR LADING OR UNLOADING UNITED STATES MAIL. THE ALASKA RAILROAD." An identical sign stands at the top of the dock, along the dock's left edge. The dock's supports stretch down towards the water. The boat, "MARATHON," sits in the water at far left and is tethered to the dock. A waterway passes through the mid-ground. The shoreline stretches across the background. It is lined by buildings and docks. Text from negative sleeve: 2181. Alaska Trip. Seward. Sept.7,1946. 1. Mom's Cafe 2. Seward from dock 3. Waterfall from dock 4. Sourdough Bill's luggage truck 5.
