What to do and see in Juneau, Alaska (AK): The Best Monuments & Statues

March 20, 2022 Renato Branum

Because of its ideal location between the base of Mount Juneau and the Gastineau Channel, the Southeastern Alaskan city of Juneau has been the home of Native American fisherman, European fur traders, and American gold prospectors. Now a free-spirited state capital, Juneau is the perfect base for a journey into the gorgeous Alaskan wilderness, whether it's for fishing, kayaking, and dog sledding in the National Parks, whale-watching at Icy Strait, or glacier hiking at the Juneau Icefield.

Loved the history of this wee dog, and the towns tribute to her. She gets pats and love from a million cruise ship passengers each cruise ship season and all the other visitors to town ❤️

Alaska Commercial Fishermen's Memorial

Reviewed By jerb2014 - Bristol, United States

This memorial is dedicated to all the men and women who lost their lives at sea while involved with commercial fishing. It consists of a curve wall (kind of like the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C.) of granite with the names of over 200 people. There is a beautiful round plaque set into the walkway in front of it. In a state where commercial fishing provides the livelihood for a great number of people, the loss of life at sea is a reality. It is nice to see that a beautiful memorial has been constructed as a place of peace where people can reflect and remember those who were lost while fishing.
