USS Northwestern Memorial

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:49:14

In a disheveled hillside graveyard along the bay is the USS Northwest memorial named for a 19th-century freight ship turned floating WWII bunkhouse that was destroyed by Japanese bombs in 1942. To get there, follow Bayview Rd to the southeast end of town.

In 1992, for the 50th anniversary of the event, the propeller was salvaged by divers and is now part of the memorial. US and Alaskan flags fly gallantly in the (usually) strong winds.
