FACTS ABOUT SEWARI)
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay. midway of
li e coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 11*0 miles from
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as it
nature had anticipated the need ot a gateway through
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in safety at any time, and
w hich in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
I l l inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ir e space and perfect topography for the building of a city
oi whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
ci instance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
the interior, and the freedom ft :nn ice at all seasons of the
h irbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
this port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. The un
li.uitcd coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
1! iw through this port to enter the commerce of the world,
a id in return will come the supplies for distribution over
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
thus making it the great port of the North Pacific or the
N E\Y YORK OF ALASKA.
