This lifeboat was abandoned near Lena Point in Juneau, Alaska, following the wreck of the Princess Kathleen in 1952. She was built in 1924, with a total length of 369 feet. Following a brief stint as a troop ship in World War II, she was operated by the Canadian Pacific Railroad between British Columbia and Alaska. In 1952, she struck Lena Point. As the tide came in, the stern was swamped and she sank. All passengers and crew were saved. There were no roads on the point at this time. This lifeboat now rests beside Lena Loop Road. It is also available in a color version.

I am a long-time Alaskan, having lived here since 1970. I am retired from state service, after working for the Alaska Department of Corrections for twenty years. In my spare time, I take pictures. I have enjoyed photography since junior high, and I have an extensive photo library. I am working to turn my pictures into an income source to supplement my retirement. My photos include landscapes, nature photos, and abstracts. I have a particular fondness for shooting abandoned places or objects. Subjects range from Southeast Alaska to Interior Alaska, and the stretch of Canada in between. I retain the rights to all images I have posted here.
