Built: 1855
Abandoned: 1865
Area: 65.1 acres
Also known as: Coal Cove
Date added to NRHP: 11/21/1978
Notes: The only remnants of this once thriving mid 19th century coal mining operation are some structure foundations, railway remains, and some open pits and vertical mine shafts. Though the site was only active for about 10 years, it represented one of the many projects undertaken by Russia and the United States to exploit Alaska's plentiful natural resources.
