BRIGHT AUGURIES FOR SEWARD
With any forward movement in a distinctive line al
ways comes consideration of other avenues of industry.
This, in relation to the proposed local shelter harbor for
small sea-going craft; with the approval of proposals
yesterday, by army engineers, for the development of a
refuge harbor in Resurrection Bay and with the initial
expenditure, just half of the estimate for the completion
,of the project, comes additional assurance that Seward
and this immediate region is on the threshold of natural
development which even the most far-seeing of citizens
hesitate to boast of.
Epics have been written about the fishermen of Glou
ehester, their wonderful courage, but the greatest yet to
be written will be on Alaskan fishermen who “go down to
the sea” to battle Neptune, Posideon and the remainder
of the mythical ancient gods, for a livelihood on the hali
but banks.
The halibut fishermen and others who pioneer the
waters of the North Pacific have asked little but have
been willing to chance many hazards in the pride of their
dangerous calling.
A safe haven for these little deep-sea craft, and
sturdy crews, in Resurrection Bay is now almost a cer
tainty; and in behalf of fishermen and citizezns of Sew
ard, thanks are hereby extended to the U. S. Army Engin
eers for visioning the needs of this practical project and
for their desire for quick action in instituting the work.
A gent arriving in Seward the other day from Flor
ida say^he made an awful mistake by going down there
to spend the winter. “I should have come to Alaska,” he
said.
