History of Packers Spit

Descriptive name published in 1943 by US@C&GS. A fish-packing plant was located here in the late 1800's. This feature was called "Uganuk Spit" (for Uganik Island) in 1897 by Lieutenant Commander J. F. Moser, U.S. Navy (USN), of the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (USBF) steamer Albatross.
