would like to know more about the sinking of the m/v bertha in 1915………… info. picts., etc.
the remnants of the wreck lie in our front yard now in uyak bay at our summer fish camp and we have wanted for years, more complete info. on the history of the bertha. not much of it has left and we have watched it dwindle over the years. any pictures or info.out there???
I have several news articles, some old pictures and a copy of the original wreck report. I will email you some of that shortly. Most of it you can get from the internet by searching “S S Bertha” “Steamer Bertha” or “Steam Ship Bertha”. The Shelikof and bays on either side are littered with wrecks. You would be amazed at the interesting history that has been ground up and deposited in the bedrock cracks under the gravel on the beaches where you are catching fish. The Bertha was a classic. You could write a book.
According to the Cordova Daily Times, July 20, 1915 issue: The steamer Bertha, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Co., bound from Seattle to Bristol Bay, with supplies for the Libby, McNeill canneries, went ashore on Harvester Island in Uyak Bay last Sunday. The vessel caught fire the next day and was destroyed. The ship and the cargo are a total loss. The value of the cargo is unknown but the Bertha was valued at $75,000. The Bertha was one of the best known vessels on the Alaska run, having been sailing the northern waters for many years, part of the time as a passenger vessel, but of late being used exclusively as a freighter.
