Berth doors are narrow and a ladder is used to go between decks. Were people thinner and more nimble in 1942? 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Brig is definitely the most unique of all the berths on the Adak. This berth is the Fo'c's'le, which is the bow or the front of the boat. It being the very front of the boat, the floors are slanted. The small room has modern & convenient features like a very cozy double bed and private-mini fridge and private sink. And, adding to its historic vibe, the Brig has chains running through it that connect the boat's large captain's wheel, one floor above, to the original (and functioning!) 1920s FairBanks-Morse direct-reversible locomotive engine, one floor below. Sounds crazy, but most people think it’s pretty cool. This is a great spot to come back to and relax after a day of adventures in Sitka. It’s a available for rent hostel-style with shared common areas or as part of the full vessel rental.

‘Cool boat! It doesn’t run, does it?’ That’s what a friend asked when we took the Adak on. The answer is - it does, if you really really want it to! In fact, the Adak was sailed from Sitka to Wrangell, Alaska in April of 2016 so it could be hauled out of the water have some repairs done. Isn’t she a beauty? This adventure was written about in an article published in Smithsonian Magazine. Click on the link to read all about it...
