The Alaska Packers formed at this location in 1893 at which time this was a salmon canning facility. Their fleet wintered in the Alaska Basin to the west of this facility.

The wharf is currently used for storing ISO standard shipping containers and trailers though there are plans to develop the wharf for other purposes.
