Edith M.H. Aggs wrote an account of her journey with Henry Gurney Aggs and the bowl is sold with two xeroxed pages of the journal, which remains with her descendants. She writes: We started from Seattle and first visited Victoria in Vancouver...During the trip we stopped to see the great Muir Glacier from which icebergs were constantly crashing down...We landed in small boats and, though it was risky, we walked on the glacier. We managed to get back safely to Sitka, the capital of Alaska...There we landed and stayed for two or three days, seeing the Alaskan Indians with their queer customs, odd dwellings and the totem poles which they worshipped.
