Dear Travelers,
I present you the port of Dutch Harbor, located on Amknak Island in the Aleutian chain, consistently ranks as the largest fishery by volume in the U.S. Each year, the large fleet brings in tons of halibut, salmon and king crab-fans of the Discovery Channel may be familiar with the area, highlighted on the popular series "Deadliest Catch." Naturally, sport fishing opportunities are plentiful.
Dutch Harbor is also known for being the only place on American soil other than Pearl Harbor to be bombed by the Japanese. In June of 1942, two days of air attacks killed 43 American servicemen but did very little long-term damage to the base. Visit the informative Aleutian World War II National Historic Site for the whole stay.
See you there...
Rinell :-)
