Wrangell

Wrangell, a town so lawless at one time that Wyatt Earp refused the job of Marshall in that "Hellhole," though he did the job for 8 days while another could be found. Wrangell has had many fortunes, first as a goldrush town selling supplies for the trip up the Stikine River. Next was logging and sawmills, then fishing.

We had a nice ride through Zimovia Passage.

A museum provided the full history of Wrangell starting with the Indigenous People. Shakes Island is next to the marina and this Longhouse is made from huge cedar planks.

These totems had fallen and a shelter was erected over them.

A short dinghy ride from Wrangell is Petroglyph Beach.
