Watch a
completely restored antique salmon canning line in
operation and learn about the fascinating history of
the salmon canning industry in Alaska. Tsirku Canning
Co. has recreated a salmon canning line with antique
equipment gathered from canneries around the state.
Each 1920’s vintage piece has been meticulously
reconditioned and is in perfect working order. The
cannery has the only three-piece can reform line left
in existence allowing you to see how the old cans
were shaped from flat metal pieces into a usable can.
As you follow the cans from shaping to filling to
completion you will hear how the salmon canning
industry evolved and shaped Alaska's future. |
