The Harbor is Poor Audio Described Wayside

Description

The Dyea waterfront was the beginning of the Chilkoot Trail. Early on, small boats brought supplies to shore, but the shallow harbor and a tidal range of more than a mile made offloading passengers and freight from ships difficult. In 1898 Dyea built two wharves to try to compete with Skagway’s deep harbor and better docking facilities. But in the end, Dyea’s efforts failed.
