The skyline of the city of Anchorage as seen from the dredge the Army Corps of Engineers – Alaska District contracts to maintain the Port of Alaska to keep the waterway safe for navigation. The Westport, a 2,000-cubic-yard hopper dredge operated by Manson Construction, clears built-up sediments on the seafloor that prevent large ships from coming through. When it has accumulated large amounts, it dumps the material further off shore so that the sediment is washed out to sea. ( Army photo by Rachel Napolitan)
