From Fish Camps to Cold Storages by Pat Ellis

SOFT COVER - PHYSICAL BOOK : SHIPPING INCLUDED IN PRICE.

Before there were canneries, there were fish camps. Before cold storages, there were families navigating 800 miles of Inside Passage under sail, arriving at the edge of a rainforest at the start of storm season.

Pat Ellis traced that journey from the beginning — from the ancient Tlingit fish traps still visible at low tide, through the Norwegian settlers who built a town from the sea up, to the industrial cannery era that made Petersburg famous. A foundational read for anyone who wants to understand how this community was built.
