This series’ “4A” image was dominated by several square kilometres of a glacier, but also included what appeared to be a very small boat.
The very same boat is the obviously-substantial star of “4B”.
For eight nights and almost nine days my beloved and I were among the 16 people (12 passengers) who were comfortably accommodated and very well fed on MV Catalyst.
The boat also carried kayaks for us all, and towed the tender that speedily transported us to and from many of Glacier Bay’s glorious shores.
Now nearly 92 years old, this lovingly restored wooden boat was custom-built for the University of Washington, as its first oceanographic research vessel.

That experience was infinitely more rewarding than the shallow kind offered by operators of cumbersome, crowded, so-called “luxury” liners.
This series’ “5A” & “5B” involve the same glacier that dominated “4A”.
