Nestled on Revillagigedo Island, the Port of Ketchikan is often the first stop for those sailing north from Seattle or Vancouver. Once a bustling salmon fishery and still known as the ‘Salmon Capital of the World,’ the port provides a vivid glimpse into Alaska’s frontier character and cultural heritage. As the gateway to Alaska’s Inside Passage, it welcomes visitors with a blend of maritime history and natural beauty. Today, travelers can explore this historic port, immersing themselves in the local culture and the rugged, scenic surroundings that define the Alaskan experience.
