Went ashore to do a little prospecting found an abandon gold mine from 1918.
Still a lot of old equipment laying around most of it destroyed during the 1964 good friday earthquake and the following tsunami. Didn't find any gold this time. Lots of hard rock mines still around. This mine had a tram set up to haul out the ore. You can see the Pelton Wheel that used water to run the tram. Lots of wooden pipe wrapped with wire
