The Cordova cap, for the town that is home of the Copper River reds. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Cordova vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Cordova 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.

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

Spanish explorers named Puerto Cordova in 1792, the first cannery opened in 1889, and in 1908 the town was founded as the ocean port of the Copper River & Northwestern Railway, which hauled ore from the Kennecott copper mines across the 1910 Million Dollar Bridge at the foot of Miles Glacier.

When the mines closed in 1938 and the railway was abandoned in 1939, Cordova turned to fishing and became the home port of the Copper River salmon. Reachable only by boat or plane, it sits in a temperate rainforest of about 167 inches a year on Orca Inlet, with tidewater glaciers and the Copper River Delta beyond. The end of the road is the mark on this piece.

More From Cordova Alaska

All Cordova Alaska Items

Today Cordova is a working fishing town at the edge of the wild — harbor and rainforest, glaciers and delta, and the best wild salmon on earth running past its door. Our Cordova designs gather that identity — the bear emblem, the Million Dollar Bridge, the Copper River reds — into wearable form. Cordova, Alaska — end of the road, home of the Copper River reds, where the rails once ran for copper and the salmon still run wild.

People were here long before the copper. The Eyak made the Copper River Delta and this corner of Prince William Sound their home, fishing the same runs that feed the town today and trading along the coast between their Tlingit and Alutiiq neighbors. The first cannery opened on Orca Inlet in 1889 — before the railroad, before the town — proof that the fish came first and have stayed longest. Cordova’s deepest story is not copper but salmon, and the people who have always known it.

Why People Visit Cordova

Cordova rewards travelers who want the real, working edge of Alaska: a fishing fleet at the dock, glaciers and a great river delta within reach, world-class birding and salmon, and a town you have to make an effort to reach. Bring rain gear and time.
