Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve, Guemes Channel.
Ship Harbor is now home for the Washington State Ferry Terminal to the San Juan Islands and (hopefully again in a few years) Sydney (Victoria) Vancouver Island B.C.

Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve:
SHIP (Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve) is located between the Washington State Ferry terminal on the west and residential developments near the cul de sac at Edwards Way on the east.
In addition to the 25 acres of freshwater wetlands, there are also five acres of upland habitat and 2,000 fee of sandy beach and subtidal ellgrass beds. There is a defined trail system that is protective of particularly sensitive areas and also provides environmental education about the role and significance of the beach and wetlands. anacorteswa.gov

Ship Harbor Cannery Ruins:
Anacortes was often referred to as "The salmon canning capital of the world." The first cannery in Anacortes was opened in 1894, and by 1915 eleven canneries were built along the Guemes Channel on the north shore of Fidalgo Island.
"Ship Harbor was the site of two major canneries. The first cannery on Fidalgo Island was opened at Ship Harbor in 1894 the Fidalgo Island Packing Company. It would become one of the largest salmon canneries in the world. It later changed its name to Fidalgo Island Canning Company before closing in 1933 and moving to Canada. Two of its well-known labels were "Holly Leaf" brand salmon "packed fresh on Puget Sound" and "Wild Rose" brand. Another of the several local canning companies, Anacortes Canning Company, was also located at Ship Harbor. Alaska Packer Association purchased it in 1904 and it closed in 1934.
The banner year for the Anacortes canneries was 1913, when 39 million salmon were caught. Anacortes canneries alone did more than $3 million worth of business that year. There were later brief bursts of abundance, but overall, salmon runs permanently dwindled.
The many cannery buildings at Ship Harbor are all gone now except for some pilings, a few of the buildings stood there, abandoned, until the 1980's, when they were finally torn down. At one time, the cannery community at Ship Harbor included, in addition to the main cannery buildings and warehouses, bunkhouses and mess halls for workers, an office building, a general store, a blacksmith shop, a carpentry and paint shop, houses, sheds, pig pens, chicken coops, net houses and net racks." anacortesparksfoundation.org
