Fishing has attracted men to the very rough seas off the coast of Alaska for centuries and many a ship has disappeared beneath the surface of the Bering Sea. In Homer, the town has erected a monument to the men who have been lost, where people leave shells and flowers and other mementos.
Seward still has a thriving marina and is the main port of access to Kenai Fjords National Park, accessible only by water.
Not all ships stay sea-worthy. The Virginis sends its prow just through the grasses on shore near Homer these days.
Looking a bit like a scene on a tropic island, sunset falls over the Kenai River.
