In 1912, the Hoonah Packing Company built the first cannery in the area which today is Icy Strait Point. Icy Strait Point was originally built as a Salmon Cannery and has been an important part of the community for many years serving many functions. Currently, 85% of the staff at Icy Strait Point are local Tlingit from Hoonah.
Icy Strait Point is a privately owned tourist destination just outside the small village of Hoonah, Alaska. It is located on Chichagof Island and is named after the nearby Icy Strait. Owned by Huna Totem Corporation, it is the only privately owned cruise destination in Alaska, as most stops are owned by the cities in which they are located.
We each had an original The Crab House Bloody Mary — delicious!
We stopped there also on our cruise. Love the shops and history. Didn’t do the Bloody Mary though. Enjoy. Mary and Kenneth
