Skagway

The ferries were intended to shuttle passengers from Juneau to Haines and Skagway for day trips.

Many cruise ship passengers still stop in Skagway, Alaska, just like gold rushers did over a century ago, and visiting this jewel box of a museum will provide context for their bucket list trip.

Amaru, a 5-year-old rescue dog, waits patiently on his family’s front lawn in Skagway, Alaska, watching for the bus to arrive each morning.

“Glorious,” said Mike Healy, the owner and general manager of Skagway Brewing Company.

The ship rerouted to Juneau instead of its planned destination of Skagway for inspection where divers determined the ship needed repairs in Seattle, a Coast Guard public affairs specialist told the Juneau Empire.
