Swanberg's dredge sifted Nome's golden sands in the 1940's. It's a mile east of Nome's downtown and not only a favorite tourist snapshot, but also a must-stop destination for serious birders. During the Iditarod Race, KNOM calls the police department when each musher reaches Swanberg's Dredge, and the cops engage a greeting over the town's fire siren. Photo by Tom Busch, June 1997.
