Port Armstrong
Nestled on the
North Pacific Ocean in the US, Port
Armstrong is a small port known for its sheltered location and deep natural
harbor (23.2m anchorage). While the port itself may be unassuming, a
short journey south on Baranof Island in Southeast
Alaska brings you to the fascinating Port Armstrong Hatchery. This
unique spot blends scientific research with environmental awareness and
community involvement. Explore the ruins of a bygone whaling
station and herring reduction plant, remnants of
the area's industrial past, while marveling at the dynamic
present of the hatchery.
