Frequently Asked Questions

At the Port Chilkoot dock, right at the foot of the former Fort Seward military post, on the west shore of the Lynn Canal. The fort is adjacent to the landing; the village centre is about a fifteen-minute walk.
Yes. Fort Seward sits at the dock, and the village centre with its museums and waterfront is walkable. Only the eagle preserve, about thirty kilometres out, requires a vehicle.
A former military post built by the US Army in the early twentieth century, forming a broad rectangle of white wooden buildings around a parade ground. It now houses artist studios, galleries and inns.
Fort Seward straight off the gangway, the Sheldon Museum, then an hour on the waterfront as the boats land their catch. With more time, the Chilkat eagle preserve is worth the drive.
Yes, in large numbers. The Chilkat preserve, about thirty kilometres away, protects one of the world's greatest gatherings of bald eagles. The concentration peaks in late autumn and is more modest during cruise season.
The Sheldon Museum, covering the region's Tlingit history and the gold rush, and a second, more unusual museum devoted to hammers, now a local curiosity. Both fit into one morning.
Haines is the quiet neighbour. The two towns face each other across the Lynn Canal, but Haines receives far fewer ships: fewer jewellery shops, more local life, and a distinctly calmer call.
The US dollar and English. Credit cards work in the shops and the galleries at the fort.
May to September, the Alaska cruise season. June and July give the longest days; September brings rain but also the first colours and salmon in the rivers.
Yes. Distances are short, the waterfront where fish is landed interests children, and the village feel avoids the crush of the larger Alaska calls.
