Dutch Harbor

Uncommon card · No. 153812

Dutch Harbor is a harbor on Amaknak Island in Unalaska, Alaska. It was the location of the Battle of Dutch Harbor in June 1942 when the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked it just seven months after the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. To this day, it remains one of the few sites in the United States to be subjected to an aerial bombardment by a foreign power. While Dutch Harbor is home of an important fishing industry, fish and mussels have higher PCB levels than fish from non-military areas due to the extensive military contamination.
