More Breakwater
(Continued from Page One) !
mightily on their moorings.
During the months from Novem- j
ber to March the breakwater basin !
is usually filled with drift ice which 1
has been packed in there by the !
tidal currents, The ice brought into
the breakwater is not of Resurrec- !
tion Bay origin but forms in creek- j
mouths from the fresh water that 1
continuously comes down. The top j
crust is broken up by the tide and !
carried to the breakwater. When
the tide goes out Jhe fresh water |
turns to ice again and when the
tide returns a new crust has been
; formed. This action keeps up con
tinuously. The ice in the basin was !
said to have been sluffed together
to a depth of two feet. Children are
| said to have walked half-way a
cross the basin on the ice. Em
phasis was given to the counter
clockwise, or westerly motion of the
current which brings ice into the
basin, by one boat owner who said
he had picked up a log in the basin.
He towed this log across the bay.
Several days later he found that
| the log had been carried right back
; into the basin by the current.
' John Salit said tie cutters and
residents across Resurrection Bay
i also have their troubles because of
the inadequacy of the breakwater.
They come to Seward for supplies
and have to come by boats. To in
jure a degree of safety for their
craft they should have a safe place
to land their craft. They have
found the breakwater to be un
suitable and at times impossible to
get into. They partly solved their
problem by landing on the other
side of the breakwater. Mr. Salit
said that the ice inside the basin
often looked like the Point Barrow
ice floes.
i in the winter time dories
and skiffs, exposed, will ice down
just as their larger brother craft do.
An adequate breakwater would solve
the problem of keeping craft from
icing dowji.
Instances were cited of larger
craft, which had come into Seward
for shelter, leaving almost at once
for Prince William Sound to seek
protection there. With the stiff
elements often encountered on the
way over to refuge and the pos
sibility of loss of life and boat it
is evident that an adequate break
water is a necessity,
j Airplanes find the breakwater
I little protection even in the Sum
[mer months, it was declared. Only
| recently an airplane bound for Cor
idova from Anchorage, was forced
' to return to Seward because of fog
i conditions. To leave his plane safe j
j the aviator was forced to leave his :
i plane on Bear Lake so that he .
'could get some sleep.
! After the inadequacies of the
breakwater had been pointed out j
proposals were made as to how the
| situation could be remedied. Lt. j
Noyes was told*that the present)
i breakwater should be completed by !
j the construction of an additional ,
breakwater arm. parallel to the pre- j
Isent structure and to the North of ,
| the present breakwater and on the •
other side of the dredged area.!
iThis arm would be built in the i
l»
I shape of an inverted L to eliminate i
; ground swells and keep the currents '
jfrom filling the basin with drift ice. !
, If this arm is constructed the only '
.entrance would be from a southerly
direction, just at the end of the;
.oresent construction, he new arm i
1 would make the breakwater a vir- :
j tual sheltered harbor. !
! Protection for seaplanes was also
stressed at the meeting. Adequate '
provision will be made in any pos
i sible new construction to insure
that the entrance will be large
enough to permit airplanes to have
■ easy ingress and egress to the pro
tected spot.
President Leon Urbach, of the
Seward Chamber of Commerce, de
clared that his organization would
back the Mayor and the City Coun
cil in their steps to make the local
breakwater an adequate refuge for
i small boats and airplanes.
