Chacon, Wooden fishing vessel in Chugiak, Alaska.

Chacon was a 72 ft (22 m) wooden vessel, a former cannery tender built in Seattle by Johnson Brothers and Blanchard in 1912 to a design by naval architect Leslie Geary. It served Fidalgo Island Packing Co. fish trap operations at Ketchikan and Port Graham. Demolished on March 11, 2022, it stood on blocks at 17049 Old Glenn Highway in Chugiak, Alaska.

The vessel was built in 1912 in Seattle to serve fish cannery operations in Ketchikan and Port Graham along the Alaska coast. It later received an upgraded diesel engine to replace its original gasoline motor.

During the March 1964 tsunami, the vessel demonstrated its service capacity by evacuating 43 residents from Old Harbor Village on Kodiak Island.

The vessel no longer exists: it was demolished on March 11, 2022, so there is nothing to explore at the site. The former roadside parcel sat at 17049 Old Glenn Highway in Peters Creek, Chugiak, on the edge of Thillman Wallace's property. Visitors driving the Old Glenn Highway pass the spot where the hull stood on blocks.

Thillman Wallace bought the half-sunken Chacon for $5,000 in 1984 from William "Willie" Tillion, whose family had long fished out of Halibut Cove. He refloated it with crude patches and bilge pumps, then trucked it to Peters Creek on a building-mover's trailer, replacing tires often and using dump trucks from his concrete business for extra braking. The vessel was demolished on March 11, 2022.
