I love the name – Sitka!
Morning, my friend and I waked up with a beautiful scenic view of many
small islands around Sitka.
Sitka has no port. The passengers have to use tender boats to get from ship to the shore. We could not wait to see Sitka and we were on
the first tender boat to get to the shore.
Sitka was the ancestral home to the Kiksadi clan of the Tlingit
people. It was owned by Russian
government. United Stated purchased
Sitka from Russian in 1867 by paying $7,200,000 in gold.
Sitka is a very small town with rich Russian history.
We visited St. Michael’s Cathedral, Russian Bishop’s House,
and Sitka National Historical Park.
Sitka National Historical Park is Alaska’s oldest national park built to
commemorate the 1804 Battle of Sitka and preserve totem art.
Sitka is a very beautiful and cute city.
