Title
English: Landing sheep at Nome for Carstens Brothers & Dashley, ca. 1900
Description
English:

There is no harbor at Nome, Alaska, and when the Nome gold rush started in 1899, there wasn't even a city. It was a challenge for ships to bring in passengers and supply the new town with food and fuel. Vessels anchored in deep water and barges brought freight and passengers to the shore through the shallows. Each year, supplies had to be delivered by early November, when the Bering Sea froze for about six months. This photo shows a flock of sheep being unloaded from a barge at Nome. Several pigs can also be seen on the barge. The photo was probably taken sometime between 1900 and 1904 by Nome photographer B.B. Dobbs. The Carstens Brothers & Dashley firm, retail and wholesale butchers in Nome, may have owned the barge or the sheep.
