The trip is coming to an end and I need to organize the last photos. This set shows the rainbow show we enjoyed, our arrival in Ketchikan and a few totem poles to round out the tourist experience.

Ketchikan is an interesting place. With a little more than 8,000 residents it has 7 docks that can accommodate ships carrying more than 5,000 passengers plus 1700 crew (that was one of the visiting ships the day we arrived). Water is mainly from cisterns because Ketchikan has the most rainfall of any city in Alaska. Over 260 days per year.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Very nice, Mike! I visited Ketchikan in 2004 and really liked Creek Street. Didn't see any rainbows, though.

Nice! That was about a 2% population increase over the 2010 Census.
Some of the ships anchor in the bay so that they do not have to pay the high docking fees. You have to take a ferry from the airport across the water. It is almost a 5-minute ride.
