LOSSES AND DISASTERS 
Property losses reported by Alaska fishery operators amounted to 
$94,409 in 1939 and consisted chiefly of boats and fishing apparatus. 
Some loss of fish was included also, as well as a comparatively small 
amount of damage to buildings by storms. 
The total property losses reported for southeast Alaska amounted 
to $55,258, of which the principal item was the tender O. M. Arnold, 
valued at $25,000, which sank a few miles north of Noyes Island 
duringagale. Three of the crew lost their lives in this disaster. For 
central Alaska the losses totaled $27,305; and for the western district, 
$11,846. 
Twenty-one lives were lost during the year—8 in southeast, 7 in 
central, and 6 in western Alaska. In the southeastern district, 1 
fisherman was drowned and 1 was killed in an accident, 2 shoresmen 
and 1 transporter died of disease, and 3 transporters were drowned.
