Our last stop before Vancouver, Ketchikan is a quaint village, small but busy when the ships come in.
The population when 5 ships arrive at once increases by 11,000. The shop owners love it and this keeps the local economy going.
The main employment in Ketchikan is the border patrol, fishing industry, timber logging and anything to do with tourism.
