Whittier

Whittier is at the western end of Prince William Sound.  It is the terminus for many Alaskan cruises that end in south central Alaska.  It was originally built as a secret port for Anchorage during World War II.  Now it is mostly a tourism town, a gateway to Prince William Sound.  It is connected to Turnagain Arm and Anchorage by the country's longest rail and car tunnel.
