According to the negative sleeve, this set of photographs is captured in color. The scans of these images are in black and white.
Photograph of a main street in Ketchikan, as viewed from above from the docked ship, Aleutian. People, viewed from above, stand on the dock along the bottom edge of the image. Above them, a ship's rail stretches across the image. The pier extends back. Cars park in a diagonal row on the right side of the pier. Beyond the pier, a street passes horizontally through the image. A perpendicular street at center stretches back from it, curving to the right and out of view. Buildings line this street. A banner hanging over the front of the street reads, "WELCOME VISITORS." Mountains rise in the far distance.
