This photo is undated and unlabeled but features a boat called the Auklet II. It's a bit blurry but readable. There's actually quite a lot of info about this boat to be found. It is a 57-foot boat that was built in Seattle, Washington in 1951 for the Fish and Wildlife Service. It was initially headquartered in Juneau, Alaska and has been in Alaska ever since. When Alaska became a state, it was transferred to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. It was upgraded and overhauled over the years and eventually retired and sold in the early 1980s. It made its way through various private hands but is still operational today. It is currently owned by Auklet Charter Services in Prince William Sound, Alaska and is chartered primarily for scientific research and natural history cruises (see https://www.auklet.com/) For more info and photos from this set see https://hive.blog/photography/@darth-azrael/vintage-photos-oestreicher-1357-1360 #slides #vintage #photos #film #photography #Kodak #Kodachrome
