This exhibit, curated by Tim Troll of Anchorage, consists of historic photographs and numerous artifacts used by the fishermen who sailed Bristol Bay. In conjunction with this special exhibit two Bristol Bay Double Ender boats, one recently donated to the Pratt, and one acquired by the Wooden Boat Society will be restored on the Museum grounds. Dave Seamen, President of the Wooden Boat Society will be coordinating both projects with the assistance of other members of the Society, staff of the Pratt and community volunteers. Other special events are planned throughout the duration of this exhibit that runs through August 1st.

will feature a special presentation by Melvin Munson Sr., Tim Troll and John Branson. This will be an exciting opportunity to learn about the history of one of the greatest salmon fisheries in the world and to experience, first-hand, the fine craftsmanship of bringing life back to these beautiful wooden boats, some of the last to use wind and human power to fish commercially.
