Sitka clergy members and Southeast Alaska Women in Fisheries members carry baskets and buckets of flowers to Sitka Harbor Depertment workers to place at sea during the Blessing of the Fleet ceremony at Crescent Harbor Sunday. The long-standing tradition is held to give thanks for the bountiful harvest of the sea and to bless the upcoming season. The memorial portion of the program paid tribute to fishermen and other Sitkans who have died since last year’s event. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)
