Photograph of the Aleutian approaching Ketchikan from the Tongass Narrows. A portion of a dock juts into frame in the lower left corner. The Tongass Narrows spans most of the width of the image and stretches into the distance. The Aleutian sails in the distance, right-of-center. It approaches the Ketchikan shore and is viewed from its bow. The Ketchikan shoreline enters frame at left and extends into the distance. Ships and boats are tethered to docks along the shore. Mountains rise in the far distance at right.
