Description:
Ketchikan Daily News:
"Boat builder Carl Holmberg adjusts clamps as he planks a new skiff in his Nadeau Street shop. Ketchikan Photographer Paul Saari caught this view of the noted Ketchikan craftsman in the late 1950s. Saari remembers that Holmberg had begun to build a 16-foot version if his sturdy, transom-sterned skiffs at about the time of the photo. Holmberg boats were suitable for moderate outboard power or "Norwegian Steam"- oars."
