Yakutat
is a deep-water port, and during WWII there were concerns it could
be invaded. (Where invaders would have gone after taking over the
place is another issue, since it's not like it easily connects to
anything strategic.) Hence, cannons on the beach, which have been
left there as landmarks and give the beach its name.

The
wreckage of a U.S. Navy SNX-2 lies near the entrance of the Yak-Tat
Kwaan corporate office in Yakutat. The SNX-2 was a prototype of a
Navy propeller-driven scout/trainer aircraft, and the low-wing monoplane
never entered production. No one seemed to have a clear idea of how
such a rare aircraft came to be in Alaska, much less in remote Yakutat,
where it currently serves as an informal playground for children and
imaginative adults. (Photo by National Ocean Service, NOAA).
