PACIFIC COD FISHERIES. 39 
death of both Lynde and Hough, that the two concerns were finally 
merged into one and the whole business operated under the name of 
the Union Fish Co. 
In 1876 Mr. A. Greenebaum, then and for a number of years sub- 
sequent, agent for the Alaska Commercial Co., built a trading sta- 
tion for the company at Acherk Harbor (later known as Company 
Harbor) on Sannak Island. A little codfishing was prosecuted at 
times, but it was not until 1896, when it became the property of the 
progenitors of the Alaska Codfish Co., that it was used for this 
business exclusively. In 1897 the company established another sta- 
tion on Moffet Cove, a few miles east of Company Harbor. 
In 1896 the Alaska Codfish Co. opened its Kelleys Rock station, 
situated about midway between Unga and Squaw Harbors. This, 
like the Unga station, is an all-the-year-round station and is by far 
the most productive one owned by the company. 
In 1906 the Alaska Codfish Co. bought the Alaska Commercial 
Co.’s station at the town of Unga, on Unga Island, and began fishing 
operations in the fall. The next year the Union Fish Co. built a 
station here, but on the opposite side of the harbor. Fishing is 
carried on here throughout the year. 
The present Squaw Harbor station of the Alaska Codfish Co. was 
first established as a salmon saltery by a man named Olsen, who also 
utilized it at times as a codfish station. In the summer of 1903 the 
present owners purchased it and have very much improved it since. 
It is a winter station. Its principal use to the company is as a supply 
depot for its near-by stations, the harbor being one of the safest 
in the Shumagins. 
The Dora Harbor, Unimak Island, stations of the Alaska Codfish 
Co. and the Union Fish Co. were established in 1897 and 1898, re- 
spectively. While they were quite productive the first two seasons, 
they have been steadily diminishing in importance ever since. The 
Sannak Island station men are transferred to these stations in the 
spring, after the cod have moved off into the deep water surrounding 
Sannak Island, and are brought back again in the fall when the fish 
have again returned to the shoal waters. 
About 1903 the Union Fish Co. built a station at Wedge Cape, 
Nagai Island, and operated it intermittently as a summer station 
until 1909, when it was abandoned. 
In 1903 the Union Fish Co. built a station at Eagle Harbor, on 
Nagai Island, and operated it continuously up to and including 
1909, since when it has been shut down owing to the difficulty of 
securing enough men to work it. 
The first Puget Sound company to establish a shore station in 
Alaska was the Seattle & Alaska Fish Co., of Seattle, which built a 
station at Falmouth Harbor, on Nagai Island, in the spring of 1903.
