Seward – a place to relax in and explore the Marine Life of the Kenai Peninsula

Seward has a tiny population of 2,787 and is a small town which is visited mostly by people wanting to explore Kenai National Park or Cruise ships.
The town got its name from William H. Seward, the United States Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. In 1876, he fought for the U.S. purchase of Alaska which is also achieved by a negotiation with Russia.
