Craig (Tlingit: Sháan Séet) is a[12] city in the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area in the Unorganized Borough[A] in the U.S. state of Alaska.

The commercial fishing industry was responsible for Craig's relatively large population compared to neighboring communities.

[4] In 1972, a large sawmill was established nearby providing a steady source of year-round employment.

[18] The boat's owner, Mark Coulthurst, from Blaine, Washington, his wife Irene, and their two young children were among the victims.

In September 1984, a suspect, John Kenneth Peel, from Bellingham, Washington, was arrested for the murders.

Despite this, no fatalities, serious injuries, or incidents of damage were reported and the tsunami threat never materialized other than minor, localized sea level rises.

[27] There are a few marine shipping companies providing scheduled cargo barge service to South-Eastern, Alaska.

[28] Prince of Wales Transportation based in Craig, provides island-wide shuttle services from the ferry terminals to the other communities and island attractions.

[29] Commercial fishing and related support business comprises the largest portion of Craig's economy.

[4] This is supplemented by timber industry related activities like the sawmill, and many residents use subsistence resources in addition to the formal economy.

[4] In 2000, Craig had 42 vessel owners with operations in federal fisheries, 84 vessel owners with operations in state fisheries, and 149 registered crew members; 199 residents held 437 commercial fishing permits; 3,405 sport fishing licenses were sold, 2,590 licenses to non-residents of Alaska.

There are two harbors in the center of town one which primarily contains smaller charter and recreational boats, and the North Cove Harbor where the trollers, seiners, longliners, shrimp, crab, and dive boats that make up the local fleet are moored.

During the peak of the fishing season in summer, the harbor is usually so full that boats must anchor out in the bay.

[4] There are a few cellular carriers providing service on Prince of Wales Island, mostly to the more densely populated communities like Craig.
