Scenes from Bristol Bay in Southwest Alaska include the Bristol Bay sailing fleet, fishermen hauling in nets full of salmon, men flinging fish with long-handled tools known as peughs or pughs, and cannery operations, circa 1930s. Sailing boats known as Bristol Bay "double-enders" were utilized in the bay for nearly 70 years until the use of power boats became permitted in 1951 (B&W/Silent/16mm film).
This is a clip from AAF-1158 of the Dickson Collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
