July 4th, 2023 Independence Day
Port Plaque and Charity Donation Event
Today the ship was docked in Icy Strait Point, a little area located about 1.6 miles outside of the town of Hoona, a so called Klingit town, or village, as it is a small place. But, despite the size, the place is amazing; you dock in the middle of nature with nothing but beautiful forests, beautiful beaches and great campfires.
This year marks 150 years of sailing for our company, as well as being in Alaska for 75 years.
Because of this, we had a celebration with a small group of representatives from Hoona whereby we handed some plaques as well as a check for the Hoona Heritage Foundation, a foundation which was established in 1990 by the Huna Totem Corporation as a non-profit affiliate to foster and support educational and cultural opportunities for shareholders and descendants.
