A monument to Ketchikan’s heritage, The Rock tells the story of how Alaska’s First City came to be. Six of the seven figures depicted on the sculpture represents a prominent archetype in the city’s history—a fisherman, a miner, a logger, a bush pilot, a frontierswoman, and a native drummer. The seventh represents an actual historical figure—Chief Johnson, a Tlingit who stands on top of The Rock, symbolizing the fact that his people were the first to make their home in southeast Alaska.
