History of Canneries

I began some preliminary research into the history of various canneries in the Inlet in an effort to add sources to these currently unattributed sentences, "Excursion Inlet has had a fishing cannery since 1891. The current plant, constructed in 1918, still functions to this day. It mostly processes pink and chum salmon, as well as salmon roe, salmon caviar, halibut and sablefish. It is located near the mouth of the inlet, about 40 miles (64 km) west of Juneau. Its seasons run from late June to mid-September. Excursion Inlet Cannery is one of the largest fish canneries in the world and was acquired by Ocean Beauty Seafoods in 2003."

However I was overwhelmed by the many canneries operating over the years so am stepping back but including some potential sources for further exploration if other editors want to take this up.
