Kodiak Alaska

Kodiak Alaska pics from the early 1980’s

Larsen Bay pier

The crip at the dock in Kodiak. Near Island is behind him across the channel – now there is a bridge connecting the two.

Fishing boats at the docks on cannery row.

Kodiak harbor around 1982. The houses were all painted with bright colors -looked cool ! Unfortunately I lost all my Alaska pictures from the 1970’s and 80’s but had scanned these a few years ago so decided to publish them. I miss the north country a lot !

Boats bunched up at the dock in Kodiak town.

Dave with starfish and dungeness crab pots. These crabs are fished for in the summer while the Opilio Tanner and King crab are fished for in the winter months – the seasons vary depending on fish and game regulations.

Halibut caught on the dock in Kodiak. Fish weighing several hundred pounds have been caught in the channel that runs between Near Island and Kodiak.

Mrs Larsen witnessed the Katmai eruption of 1912 from Kodiak. That eruption was one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the 20th century. My friend Ed and I stayed at her place whilst we were completing a construction project. She was a fiery woman and was living on her own out there in this remote place. Larsen Bay is named after one of her ancestors – an early explorer in this area.
