The main focus of this site is to bring awareness to the ~ SEAL ~ The First vessel built for the Territory of Alaska in 1926. The historical load which she carried bringing a Territory into Statehood & Beyond is almost 100 years full.
The historical significance of the SEAL delivering a Wild Frontier Territory into Statehood is a priceless part of Alaska's past which must be preserved for generations in our future.
This is a single handed project started in 2004 by Russ Peterson, and "The Swede" aka Michael Svensson a master shipwright in Juneau Alaska. It is VERY MUCH a "Non-Profit" venture in that my goal is to restore the SEAL for the hands on appreciation & enjoyment of generations beyond myself. Using traditional methods, tools, and materials ~ blended with modern methods, products & tools. Any and all money earned by working my full time job for the state of alaska as a computer geek, and all side work that I accept, is donated to the project weekly & my labor is nightly during the week often times past midnight, all day & past that on the weekends! :)
