Founded in 1889 by the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, the Orca cannery on Orca Inlet near Cordova was once among the largest salmon canneries in Prince William Sound before fires and a botulism scare forced its closure in the late 1980s; it now operates as an adventure lodge. As a port, Orca is a historic anchorage rather than a commercial freight facility, and its relevance to forwarders is very limited. No container, bulk or customs services are offered. For cargo in this part of Alaska, nearby Cordova, Valdez and the Port of Alaska at Anchorage are the working ports.
