We give a special "Thank You" to our summer interns: Ryan
Olson, Megan Huber and Debika
Shome. Without their good humor and tolerance for tedious data entry, along with
hard work and diligence, this shipwreck database wouldn't be as complete. We thank
University of Alaska Anchorage Librarian Ralph Courtney for alerting us to the vast
shipwreck archive of the Anchorage Daily News and
to Sharon Palmisano for graciously giving us access to the Daily News and Anchorage
Times morgue files.
