The Seward cap, for the town that is Mile 0 on Resurrection Bay. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Seward vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Seward piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

A breathable cotton dad cap with a classic, vintage-inspired embroidered finish. The unstructured 6-panel, low-profile fit has a Permacurv visor, self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Since embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process. Full details in our Embroidery footer.

Baranov named Resurrection Bay in 1792 and the Ballaine brothers founded Seward as the Alaska Central Railway’s ocean terminus on August 28, 1903. When gold was struck on Otter Creek on Christmas Day 1908, the Iditarod Trail was blazed north from here: Mile 0. The city incorporated in 1912, and Benny Benson designed the Alaska flag at the Jesse Lee Home in 1927.

The 1964 earthquake and tsunami took the waterfront and the town rebuilt it. The deep-water port stays ice-free all year, Mount Marathon hosts the oldest mountain race in North America, and Exit Glacier and the Kenai Fjords lie just beyond. The end of the rails and the edge of the fjords is the mark on this piece.

All Seward Alaska Items

Now the wild coast that built Seward draws the world to it. The town is the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park — day-boats run out of the harbor past tidewater glaciers, whales, and seabird cliffs, and Exit Glacier and the vast Harding Icefield sit just west of downtown. The Alaska SeaLife Center stands on the waterfront, the brutal Mount Marathon Race charges up the peak behind town every Fourth of July, and the Silver Salmon Derby fills the small-boat harbor each August. A working port became a basecamp for the wild.

What's with Resurrection Bay? Seward sits at the very head of it — a long, deep fjord on the Kenai Peninsula where the mountains drop straight into salt water and the harbor never freezes. The Russian navigator Alexander Baranov gave the bay its name in 1792, after sheltering here on the Orthodox Sunday of the Resurrection; he liked the cove so well that he built a shipyard, and in 1793 his men launched the schooner Phoenix, probably the first ship ever built on the northwest coast of North America. Deep, ice-free, and ringed by ice, the bay is the whole reason Seward exists: it is the door Alaska's interior opens through.

Why People Visit Seward

Seward blends marine science with glacier access and harbor life. Visitors mix easy waterfront walks with boat tours, public art, and museums, all beneath the mountains. It is dramatic, friendly, and photogenic, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. Frontier railroad history and the wild coast sit side by side here — history and everyday Alaska life together in a welcoming way.
