Tramway and Support Buildings Fort Bulkley, HD Seward
	Home  |  Seward

The dock at Mary's Bay was connected to the upper part of Fort Bulkley by a 675 foot tramway. This tram was powered by a hoist located near the battery administration and supply building at the 450 foot level, where the tramway ended. Strong winter storms and the moist climate have taken a severe toll on the support buildings at Fort Bulkley and little remains of them today.

Deterioration is an ongoing process for the defenses of Seward. This image shows the Mary's Bay dock in July 2004 (top) and again in July 2005 (bottom). The shoreline had also receded a noticeable amount in that time, cutting into the small earthen landing at the foot of the access road and further damaging the tramway.
