About This Seaport
Steep timbered slopes ring a sheltered deep-water basin where the only regular visitors are research crews and the occasional fishing vessel. Big Port Walter sits on the southeast coast of Baranof Island in Alaska, reached through a narrow passage off Chatham Strait roughly 80 km south of Sitka. The inlet offers no commercial cargo handling, container berths or customs clearance, and early-twentieth-century herring and salmon plants have long since closed; the nearby Little Port Walter station, run by NOAA Fisheries, is the area's main year-round presence. For freight purposes its relevance is limited, and shippers should route cargo through Sitka, the closest port with scheduled services and customs facilities.
