The Alaska port city, nearly entirely dependent upon cruise ship tourism, wants to share its federal coronavirus relief funds with workers in town. The city of Skagway posted an application on its website inviting residents to apply for up to $1,000 in relief funds to help with bills. Nearly half of Alaska's 2.2 million tourists arrive on cruise ships, but most companies have canceled their summer seasons, leaving workers here without much relief. (AP Photo/Kathy Matheson, File)

FILE - In this March 31, 2014, file photo, is Skagway, Alaska. Skagway, a port city nearly entirely dependent upon cruise ship tourism, wants to share its federal coronavirus relief funds with workers in town. The city of Skagway posted an application on its website inviting residents to apply for up to $1,000 in relief funds to help with bills. Nearly half of Alaska's 2.2 million tourists arrive on cruise ships, but most companies have canceled their summer seasons, leaving workers here without much relief. Skagway, located at the upper tip of southeast Alaska, is no stranger to bust-or-boom years. It was one of the original ports where would-be miners arrived during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1890s. (James Brooks/Capital City Weekly via AP, File)
