Photograph of a large, gold mine building standing on a hillside in Juneau, Alaska. The photograph appears to tilt downward to the left. A sliver of a ship is visible in the lower right corner. Rigging stretches from it and up towards center. Beyond the boat, the waters of Gastineau Channel stretch across the mid-ground. It is lined by Juneau's shore. Wharfs and buildings stand across the shore. Steam or smoke billows at far right. At center and up a slope, a large, gold mine building is built into the side of the hill. It is viewed at an angle from the front. The building is tiered up the hillside. Long, narrow passageways stretch from the uppermost level and out wide to each side. The tree-covered hill it sits upon rises behind it.
Photograph of crates of Darigold Milk being unloaded from the Aleutian in Valdez. The deck of the ship stretches on an upward angle from right to left. Rails line the edge of the right side of the deck. A man leans against the rail at right and faces left. To the left of the man, a gap in the rails stretches across the deck. Over this gap, crates of Darigold Milk and Kellogg's All Bran sit atop a pallet that hangs from ropes over the side of the ship. Beyond the cargo, a group of women stand along the rail. Port Valdez stretches beyond the side of the ship and into the distance. A large mountain rises from the shore in the background.

Photograph of the S. S. Baranoff sitting docked at a pier, as viewed form the deck of another ship in the Orca Inlet. The photographer's ship sits in the foreground along the bottom edge. Rigging cables stretch along the left edge. The tops of a couple of pick-up trucks are visible sitting a deck below the camera at center. Beyond the near ship, Orca Inlet stretches across the image. In the distance, the S. S. Baranoff sits docked to a pier in Cordova. The ship is anchored at center and is viewed at a slight angle from the side; it faces left. Behind and to the left of it, a pier stretches back to the shore where a group of several buildings stand. The shoreline stretches across the background and hills rise in the far distance.
Photograph of the Standard Oil Company tanker, J. H. McEachern, sailing through Port Valdez, as viewed from the side of another ship. The waterway occupies the majority of the image. It spans the foreground and extends back into the distance. The edge of a ship stretches along the left edge. In the near distance, people stand in a line along the rail of the ship. The tanker sails in the distance, just to the right of the near ship. It is viewed at a slight distance from the side as it sails towards the right.
