Accidents Point Up A Need
The accident Sunday at the en
trance to the Small Boat Harbor
wherein eight people had a close
brush with death, points uf> a dan
ger to the boating fraternity of the
community.
Two families, including women
and children, were thrown into the
water when the small cruiser hit
an unmarked reef beyond the
East breakwater. This could have
been fatal but for prompt action
of those nearby.
This is not the first accident
caused by this same reef. There
have been many more—in fact a
sufficient number to justify that
something be done about this men
ace to navigation.
A marker could be erected on
the spot, and at little expense as
a temporary measure at least.
Blasting or whatever is necessary
should be done to remove the men
ace. But, whatever is done, should
be done right now while the boat
ing season is in full swing.
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
At the entrance to our beautiful
$1,000,000 boat harbor we have a
virtual death trap which has not
yet been marked.
Nine boats have run aground
and last Sunday a small cruiser
with eight persons aboard, five of
them 9mall children, ran into the
shark’s tooth rock and ripped the
bottom open and eventually sank.
Except for the prompt action of
Art Brooks and a halibut boat,
several lives might have been lost.
On a dark stormy night when few
are out boating, lives will be lost.
Again on Tuesday a halibut boat
hit the reef. Another Canadian
boat hit it two weeks ago. The
other day another Canadian ship
would also have been aground

except for the violent waving of a
man on the breakwater who divert
ed the fully loaded ship to the
middle of the channel.
That Kodiak must have such a
black eye in foreign ports is cer
tainly not necessary. If the Coast
Guard does not deem this reef im
portant enough after the Harbor
master, Mr. Fenner, has requested
several times their consideration,
without results, we of Kodiak
should spend what it takes to
properly mark this hull gashing
reef at the entrance to the harbor.
Sincerely yours,
