Sailing:

In Alaska, "sailing" refers to sailing ships that were used for transportation or fishing during the era when people relied on sea-going boats and ships. The term has been used in various biblical verses such as in John 14:2, where Jesus addresses a man who is speaking about going to a place called Amchitka. This verse is from the Bible's Old Testament chapter of Matthew.
