CANNING 
CHANGES IN CANNERIES 
The Demmert Packing Co.’s cannery at Klawak, which had been 
taken over by the Klawock Packing Co. in 1933, was leased to Robert 
Lindenberger in 1936 and operated as the Klawak cannery of the 
Ocean Packing Co., the other plant of this company at Klawak 
being known as the Bayview cannery. A shore plant was operated 
by the Berg Packing Co. at Ketchikan during the season, the equip- 
ment for which had been removed from the floating cannery Pioneer, 
and the vessel was hauled out on a grid for use as living quarters of 
the cannery workmen. The plant of A. R. Brueger at Wrangell, 
which had been operated in 1935 under the owner’s name, is now 
listed as the A R B Packing Co. The floating plant Retriever, of the 
Red Salmon Packers Association, was moved from its former location 
in the Yakutat district to Sitka, where it engaged chiefly in canning 
troll-caught salmon for the Alaska Trollers Cooperative Marketing 
Association. 
In central Alaska the Halibut Bay Packing Co. was reorganized 
and incorporated as the Alaska Red Salmon Packers, Inc. An iron 
building, 178 by 28 feet, was erected to replace the small hand cannery, 
and equipment was transferred from the dismantled plant of the 
Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., at Uyak. The cannery site at 
Halibut Bay has been given the name of Carmel. The Pioneer Sea 
Foods Co., whose plant on Eyak River was destroyed by fire in Novem- 
ber 1935, leased and operated the plant of the Pacific American Fish- 
eries, Inc., at Orca. The modern shore plant of the Glacier Sea Foods 
Co., built at Cordova to replace a floating cannery, was put into 
operation this season. The Shepard Point cannery of the Shepard 
Point Packing Co. and the Ninilchik Packing Co.’s cannery at Ninil- 
chik were reopened after a period of idleness. Harry W. Crosby 
adopted the name of Chignik Packing Co. for his cannery at Chignik. 
The floating plant of the Western Pacific Packing Co. was moved from 
Mist Harbor in the Shumagin Islands to the Egegik River in the 
Bristol Bay area. 
Fourteen canneries in western Alaska that had been idle in 1935 
because of the rigid curtailment of fishing in Bristol Bay for the pur- 
pose of rebuilding the weak cyclical run of red salmon were reopened.
