PORT ALEXANDER GEAR

Port Alexander holds a remarkable place in Alaska's maritime heritage. During the early twentieth century, this southeastern Baranof Island harbor transformed into one of Alaska's most vital fishing ports, with hundreds of small trolling boats operating from its docks. At its peak in the 1920s, these boats hauled in over 5 million pounds of salmon annually, establishing Port Alexander as an essential hub for the state's fishing industry. Today, with a population of 78, the town maintains its connection to that storied fishing legacy. Wearing Port Alexander gear from Hometown Supply Co means celebrating Prince of Wales-Hyder County and Alaska's rich fishing heritage.
