Walking in Ketchikan, Alaska - What to Do on Your Day in Port
This is a quick video of walking through Ketchikan, Alaska. Ketchikan is the state's southeasternmost major settlement. Downtown Ketchikan is a National Historic District. Incorporated on August 25, 1900. Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, so named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver.
Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town, emptying into the Tongass Narrows a short distance southeast of its downtown. Ketchikan comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which is unclear. It may mean the river belonging to Kitschk; other accounts claim it means Thundering Wings of an Eagle. In modern Tlingit this name is rendered as Kichx̱áan.
We walked up to Creek St. and then took the tram up to Cape Fox Lodge. We then walked down to the City Park and then back to the ship.
Note: At 5:13 the caption reads: We have walked about 'fo blocks' now. There is an outlet mall here with restrooms.
It should say 'four blocks'.

Ketchikan, Alaska

This video begins as we sail into the harbor on the Sapphire Princess. Once off the ship a head for Creek Street, a row of wooden buildings perched over the water on pilings, which is not a street at all, this boardwalk winds along Ketchikan Creek and was once the locale for all the area's brothels.
