No record of the number of salmon of each species which composed these packs 
is now available, nor is there any record of the localities that were fished in these 
years. It is probable that all red salmon streams of the entire west coast of both 
islands were fished and that some salmon were also obtained from streams tributary 
to Chatham Strait. In the early history of salmon canning in this district, only 
red salmon streams were fished and the catch consisted almost wholly of red salmon, 
the few cohos that were taken being counted as reds. In later years, 2 canneries 
were built at Sitka and 1 at Ford Arm.
