Description:
Ketchikan Picnic, Black Sands Beach, circa 1940
Otto C. Schallerer
Where do you go when you want to get away for the day when you live on an island? Another island of course!
Imagine a Sunday picnic with family and friends that requires a boat ride! Here, community members gather at Black Sands beach for an annual picnic, thanks to the many boats willing to offer the four nautical mile ride to nearby Gravina Island.
