In 1840, the Hudson’s Bay Company constructed Fort Durham in Taku Bay. However, as the company’s policies shifted, Fort Durham (also known as Fort Taku) was eventually abandoned. During the early 1900s, a salmon cannery and Alaska’s first-ever cold storage plant were established in the harbor.
In 1920, Tiger Olson arrived in Taku Harbor to work at the cannery. When the cannery closed, Tiger became the sole inhabitant of this remote harbor. For a delightful and authentic Alaska story, I recommend reading about Taku Harbor’s Legendary Man and Myth.
The peacefulness of a rainforest is a harmonious blend of natural elements that envelops you in tranquility. In this sanctuary of life, stress dissipates, and a sense of connection to nature prevails. It’s a place where worries fade, and the symphony of life reminds you of your small place in the grand tapestry of existence. A combination of the water and the rainforest, we are in our happy place.
