Wrangell, AK

 

Wrangell, (pop. 2,000) is a friendly, small town, with some interesting history.

 

The main street in Wrangell is quaint with a number of small businesses. There were numerous flags and bunting displayed in the store windows in preparation for 4th of July celebrations.

One stop not to be missed when visiting Wrangell is the Nolan Museum and Visitor Centre - amazing!

 

 Cruise ships visit Wrangell and there was one occupying the only berth, 

with two more waiting their turn to come in.

The majority of the vessels in Wrangell harbour are fishing or work vessels,
and most are huge. This one is a crabber.

Invictus looked like a bath tub toy in comparison to the work vessels
and pleasure yachts in the harbour.
In each of the 3 days we were there, three huge blue boats tied up behind us.

Big blue #1, Nordic Valor

Big blue #2, Bear Paw

Big blue #3, Alaska Quest

We visited the cemetery next to the harbour and the Canadian flags at this headstone caught my eye.
