ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1929 



281 



Possession Fish Co. at Point Possession, Harvey Smith at West Fore- 

 land, and West Coast Canning Co. on Tuxodna Bay. The Knstatan 

 Packing Co. established and operated a new cannery at Kustatan. 

 The Blue Island Packing Co. installed the necessary machinery and 

 operated a 1-line cannery in its herring saltery building at Blue Fox- 

 Bay on Afognak Island. The Shelikof Packing Co., a new firm 

 organized by Roy Trout (formerly of the partnership Pajoman & 

 Trout) and his associates, operated a 1-line plant at Zachar Bay. 

 The Union Fish Co. prepared a pack of salmon near Pirate Cove 

 aboard the Costa Rica, which had formerly been used as a transporter 

 by the Alaska Salmon Co. and was equipped as a floating cannery 



Figure 5. — Modern salmon cannery, western Alaska 



before the beginning of the 1929 season. Seward Fisheries (Inc.) 

 put up a pack of canned salmon at Sew^ard. 



Small packs were prepared by A. N. Nilson at Portlock, Wik & 

 Berg at Redoubt Bay, and Albert and John Sandvik at Uganik Bay, 

 but these have not been included in the list of canneries. 



CANNERIES NOT OPERATED 



The Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation did not operate its plants at 

 Boca de Quadra, Pybus Bay, Tenakee, and Yes Bay, nor did the 

 Nakat Packing Corporation prepare a salmon pack at its Heceta 

 Island cannery in 1929. Of the plants in central Alaska which had 

 been operated in the preceding season, those of the Pacific American 

 Fisheries at Bering River and Unakwik Inlet, Gorman & Co. at 

 Anchorage, W. G. Culver at Point McManus, and the Kenai River 

 Packing Co. at Kenai were closed this year. 



The cannery of the Tongass Packing Co. at Nakat Inlet and that 

 of the Northwestern Fisheries Co. at Roe Point have been dropped 

 from the list of idle plants because of the improbability of their being 

 reopened, the former having been dismantled and the latter having 

 been almost completely destroyed by fire.
