FACTS a BOUT SEWARD
,i i —*
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway of
llic coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and l<iO miles Irorn
ivute of lhe Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes ot the North I antic Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much a^
nature had anticipated the need ot a gateway tmou&n
which the trade and travel of -a great region might Unci
convenient passage. .
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing torty square miics, upon whici
any ship that floats may sail i:i salety at any tune, an
w iich in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake. . .
The mainland and shores ot Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography tor the building ot a city
of whatever extent future need* may develop; and this cn
comstance, added to its natural position as a gateway to •
ti e interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons of t ie
harbor and adjacent waters lead the government to se ec
this port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. Ine un
1* lited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
turn through this port to enter the commerce ot the world,
ai d in return will come the supplies tor distiibution o\ei
a territory greater in extent ti an many state combinec, v
thus making it the great port cl the North I acific oi t e
N GW YORK OF ALASKA. . t

surrounding this city, write to tne
