«Taken on May 6»

Here's a few more pictures I took on May 6, here in Ketchikan, Alaska. Although I concentrated on taking pictures of the cruise ship (Star Princess) that day, I took a few pictures of other things. Click an image to view full.

A view of our tunnel from the cruise ship dock. Here you can see the houses on top the tunnel. An interesting little piece of trivia: the houses on top are older than the tunnel itself.

Ok, here's another picture of the cruise ship that was in that day. I think this picture is a better size comparison between the ship and buses.

The Ketchikan Creek fish ladder, and the creek itself. The town was named after this creek. The creek was named Kitschk-hin by the native Tlingit indians.

These stairs are part of Married Man's Trail. The name of the trail comes from the early 1900's, when married men used it as a hidden path to the brothels on Creek Street.

Interesting little rock arrangement I found.

  1. I like it.... Cute li'l town Marf !

    The married men's trail. I knew it had to have been used for that when you mentioned its history as the red light district...

    I still can't get over the sections of wooden roads/streets whatever they would be called...

  2. Yeah, I went and looked up the history behind that trail. It's what I figured.

    Yeah, we have boardwalks as some streets. They have street signs and everything... One bad thing about that is many houses in town are not anywhere near wheelchair accessible.
