Kake Cannery, Historic salmon cannery in Kake, Alaska, US
The industrial complex includes warehouses, processing buildings, and employee housing connected by wooden boardwalks extending over the water on pilings.
Between 1912 and 1940, the Keku Cannery developed into a major facility for processing Pacific salmon, contributing to Alaska's largest industry at that time.
Workers from China, Japan, Philippines, Korea, Mexico, and African-American communities formed the labor force that operated this salmon processing facility.
The site requires substantial restoration funds, with initial stabilization estimated at $500,000 and complete rehabilitation requiring several million dollars.
The cannery features original industrial equipment including conveyor belts, funnels, and large pressure cookers called retorts used in the fish canning process.
