Admiral Evans at Yakutat Alaska Handwritten on verso of image: Yakutat and Southern train on dock. Photo prob. by Shoki Kayamori Filed in Alaska--Cities/Location--Yakutat Shoki Kayamori, who was born in Tokyo in 1877, arrived in Yakutat in 1912 as a seasonal worker at the Libby McNeil cannery. He decided to make his home in Yakutat and eventualy became a watchman and a customer service clerk at the cannery's store. A confirmed bachelor, Kayamori led a quiet and private life and turned to photography as an avocation. When the U.S. began the relocation of Japanese Americans in 1941 Kayamori became distressed and committed suicide at his home. His collection of approximately 700 photographs was preserved and donated to the Alaska State Library in 1976. [Source: Spartz, I. and Inouye, R. (1991). Shoki Kayamori: Amateur Photographer of Yakutat 1912-41. Alaska History 6(2), pp 31-36. ] The BUCKMAN was built in 1902. She was 253 feet long and about 2,000 tons (p. 112). A legendary sea gull, known because of a tinkling sound a metal band on its leg made, was killed when the WATSON was sending ball scores to the BUCKMAN. The gull, weighing in at 28 pounds with a wingspan of 6 feet, 3 inches, was electrocuted on the wireless antenna of the WATSON (p. 156-7). Pirates attempted to rob the BUCKMAN in late August of 1910, but were unsuccessful. The captain and one of the pirates were killed, and the other went insane during his trial in Seattle (p. 178). She was renamed the ADMIRAL EVANS after an overhaul in 1913 (p. 216), and was finally sold for scrap in 1937 (p. 458). [Source: Gordon Newell, ed., The H.W.
