Title: U.S. Navy Radio Station, Dutch Harbor, Alaska
Description: During construction work performed by USS Buffalo in May or June 1914, during the 1914 Alaskan Radio Expedition. The small railroad track was built by the ship to carry supplies from the shoreline to the radio station. The supplies were brought from the ship to the shoreline by an improvised pontoon towed by the ship's steam launches. The construction work probably included the erection of the station's second radio tower, which was located to the left of the station building. Courtesy of the Naval Historical Foundation.
