Alcan Harbor, on Shemya Island, part of Alaska's Aleutian chain, offers a unique experience for sailors despite its remote location. The island's primary sight is the rugged, windswept landscape that provides a stark yet captivating beauty, along with historical remnants from its military past, including World War II bunkers. Shopping and dining are limited, typically centered around the base commissary and dining facilities, offering essentials and a taste of home in a no-frills, communal setting. For those seeking entertainment, the on-base club serves as the social hub, where sailors gather for camaraderie, drinks, and occasional events, providing a much-needed respite in this isolated outpost.
