r FACTS ABOUT SEWARD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway of
the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 1<>0 miles from
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacilic Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as it
i'. iture had anticipated the need of a gateway through
which the trade and travel of -a great region might lind
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an oh
It ng 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
ful inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography for the building ol a city
of whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
cumstance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
tiie interior, and the freedom fi oni 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
1 nited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
f jw 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,:!
