This is our retro Seward, Alaska logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

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.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

People had lived on that shore for a very long time. The Sugpiaq and Alutiiq made Resurrection Bay home for more than seven thousand years before Frank and Mary Lowell settled here in the early 1880s. The town itself dates to August 28, 1903, when John Ballaine and a party of pioneers landed to build a railroad north into the resource-rich interior. They named it for William H. Seward, the U.S. Secretary of State who had pushed through the 1867 Alaska Purchase — the deal mocked at the time as ‘Seward's Folly.’ The town belongs to the bay; the name it shares with half a dozen far-off places.

Seward has been tested as hard as any town in Alaska. On Good Friday in 1964, the great earthquake and the tsunami that followed tore through the waterfront, wrecking the harbor and the rail terminal and burning the fuel tanks along the shore; a large share of the town was lost. Seward rebuilt, as it always has, and was named an All-America City three times over. The harbor you see today was raised from that wreckage.

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.
