Tordenskjold: Boat of the Century

The historic halibut schooner Tordenskjold has steamed into her second century.

As she celebrates her centennial, she is neither relic nor museum piece. The Tordenskjold leads a small fleet of hard working commercial fishing schooners that compete head to head with modern boats on the Alaska fishing grounds.

The Tordenskjold was built in 1911 at John Strand’s Seattle boat yard. Today, there are about 20 of the schooners left, still setting and hauling longline gear in the Alaska halibut and black cod fisheries, and still generating profits and supporting family wage jobs. Now, John Sabella has released a 30-minute documentary that celebrates the old schooners and their extraordinary history.

Alone Across Alaska

1000 Miles of Wilderness

One man sets off alone in an attempt to cross a thousand miles of the most remote wilderness in America, the Brooks Range of Northern Alaska. It's a journey of mountains and solitude, river crossings and rapids, mountain passes and gravel bars, wolves, grizzlies and caribou. It's an epic solo journey across the trackless wilds of Alaska -- and a story you will not soon forget.

An Evening of Programming Dedicated to

George and Jean Rogers came to Alaska in 1945. They built a home, raised a family and were very active community members in Juneau, where they lived.

George’s academic background and advanced degrees allowed him to work as an economist, professor and researcher. During his long career he held local public office, worked for the federal and territorial governments and started an academic institute. He was one of those who helped pen the state constitution.

360 North is dedicating an evening of television programming to the contributions made by this man.
