Fox Farms and Canneries.



When we are in Prince William Sound, it seems like no other human has been where we are before. Everything appears to be raw and undisturbed. But when we look closely, there are signs around of the community that thrived there in the 1940s. In Port Audrey remains of a dock still stand guard over an area where a cannery once existed. There are many artifacts such as broken cups, bricks, and big brass valves visible in the water at low tide. It is illegal to remove anything from these areas because they are historical sites. Fox farming and gold mining also boomed in Prince William Sound during that time. The end of the war saw the end of most of these industries.
