ALASKA’S SHIPS CAN KEEP RUNNING and give Alaska’s people
good transportation, regular mail service the year around. That’s because

Industry for shipments of salmon, building materials, cannery supplies
and transportation of crews. It’s another way in which the Salmon
Industry helps to promote prosperity here.
