Alaska

Wrangell lies near the north end of Wrangell Island at the mouth of the Stikine River. The magnificent Stikine Mountains form the backdrop of this town giving it a very picturesque look. Its history dates back to 1834 when the Russians erected Fort Dionysus to prevent the Hudson's Bay Company from fur trading up the Stikine River. It has since been renamed to Fort Stikine and later Fort Wrangell when Alaska became a US territory in 1867.

Meyers Chuck is a small harbor on the Cleveland Peninsula, conveniently situated between Ketchikan and Wrangell. A state operated float provides berthing space for cruising yachts, and can accommodate anywhere from 10-12 yachts (more with rafting). There is also good anchorage inside the harbor. In addition, there is a helicopter landing pad.
