Lonely Planet review for Donald Perkins Memorial Plaza

Overlooking the seawall, is the Donald Perkins Memorial Plaza, featuring a collection of old mining detritus, including dredge buckets. During Nome's golden heyday there were more than 100 gold dredges in the area, and each one had hundreds of these buckets to scoop up gravel and dirt. Today you'll see the buckets all over town, often used as giant flowerpots. On the seawall near the plaza is a wooden platform that provides views of the Bering Sea and Sledge Island.
