As an island community, Wrangell’s docks and harbors are a cornerstone of local life. But its newest harbor could have its lifespan cut in half because a critical component was never installed.
It’s not too late to protect the harbor, but the costly fix will need to happen soon.“Mother Nature is working against you the whole time,” says Harbormaster Steve Miller, standing on the embankment looking out over Heritage Harbor, about a mile south of town.
“He came out here and started doing a survey to kind of check the pilings and see what the anodes looked like,” Miller explains: “He called me and he’s like, ‘There’s no anodes.’” But doing the work will be worth it – Miller says it could double the lifespan of harbor components. “I don’t know that it was an oversight, I think it was probably discussed,” Miller says, “But when it came down to money, it was cut out.”
