ALASKA - FISHING BOAT, 1889. A Glimpse into the Thriving Fishing Industry of Late 19th Century Alaska
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in Alaskan history - the year 1889. The image showcases the expedition vessel, George W. Elder, majestically docked in Sitka, Alaska. Laden with an abundant catch of fish, two small boats bob alongside it. Photographed by Edward Curtis on September 22nd, 1899, this snapshot encapsulates the essence of turn-of-the-century Alaskan life. Men and women can be seen bustling around the pier as they unload their precious cargo from these sturdy fishing vessels. The scene is alive with activity; children playfully dart between crates while a loyal dog stands guard nearby. This photograph not only captures a thriving industry but also offers glimpses into everyday life during this era. Edward Curtis skillfully immortalizes this moment in time when fishing was more than just an occupation; it was a way of life for many Alaskans. The crisp details and stark contrast evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by Curtis' lens over a century ago, we are reminded of the resilience and resourcefulness that defined early Alaskans who relied on marine transportation and fishing to sustain their communities amidst challenging conditions.
