bottles had a way of traveling , so don't be surprised if bottles from odd places continue to be found there .

most of what your finding are soda bottles , if they were that far away , be no point taking it back home for the deposit , so a lot would of got tossed in the water

I'd imagine you might find some Canadian bottles up there , BC and Yukon are pretty close by

have you found any bottles marked as being from Alaska ? I'd be curious to see some of them

I have Been finding a Few OC Bottles unsure if it’s a Canadian OC though I will post that bottle tomorrow if you’d like? Most of the bottles are out of Washington which is where the steamship line was based out of. Your dead on about them throwing the bottles off the dock my theory is they bought them at the general store on the wharf sat and cracked a few cold ones and then played who can toss the bottle the farthest! I’ve also found Quite a few liquor bottles by the old brothel !

no dice yet on a Alaskan bottle there was a plant in Juneau they are very rare I’ve been told! Hopefully one of these days I’ll have some luck!

That’s very cool information most of these bottles I find are from Washington.
we'd rarely ever see any bottles from Washington State here , unsure if there'd be any bottle books specific to that area , I'm sure there is bottle collectors from that area though

sometimes the local bottles can be the hardest to find but most rewarding when one finally appears

if it was on the route of a steamship line , I'd imagine they packed lunches or brought drinks with them when they boarded and when the ship stopped in port there , they tossed some of those bottles as there was no point taking them all the way home

I doubt stores in Alaska would of been selling local sodas from other states

I’ve heard of places in Hawaii finding Alaskan bottles it will be rewarding to find a Alaskan bottle! I hope eventually I will be so lucky!
