ALASKA - SELDOVIA RARE 1925 REGISTERED COVER TO BOKENAS, SWEDEN Rare cover from a sparsely populated alaskan village. Strip of four Scott #557 stamps used to frank cover. Backstamps indicated it went through New York Foreign mail route. Includes Bokenas receiver.The town's original Russian name, Seldevoy, translates to "Herring Bay", as there was a significant herring population prior to rampant overfishing early in the 20th century. Until the development of a more complete road system in Alaska, Seldovia was an important "first stop" for ships sailing from Seward, Kodiak and other points outside Cook Inlet. At one time Seldovia was home to over 2,000 residents, but today fewer than 300 persons reside year round. |
