Built in Seattle in 1914, the Alma served the Juneau-Douglas Ferry Company on Gastineau Channel until the channel was bridged in 1935. The vessel then was sold to Captain John Clark of Juneau, who sold it to Joe Burdette of Ketchi- kan in June. Towed here, the mo- torship was put on the way and completely rebuilt at a cost of ap- proximately $50,000. The Alma is 95 feet long and has a beam of 19 feet. She is pow- ered by a 220-horsepower, six-cyl- inder direct.reversible Atlas en- gine.
