1964 Dec. Henry “Legs” LeGrue brings a 251-foot-long princess liner to Kodiak and parks her where his house sat before the earthquake. The feat was almost impossible, but Legs was very lucky. The ship hit a sand bar and was almost lost. She was parked on the highest tide of the year so there was no hope of refloating her if she ran aground. These photos were given to me 25 years later by Mrs. Horn. Notice the telephone poles the power lines were lowered to allow the ship to cross Mission Road. The ship operation closed in 1976 unable to fund a sprinkler system required by the fire Marshall.
