Biographical History
The Wittenbergs were one of several pioneer Jewish families to settle in Alaska. Abraham Wittenberg (1867-1939) and his son, Leo, moved from Seattle to Nome in 1904 and opened a general store. Abraham's wife and remaining seven children joined them in 1905. Wittenberg formed the Nome Trading Company in 1906, chartering schooners to trade in Point Barrow. In 1917, he began trading as far away as Kamchatka in the schooner "Sea Wolf." Two years later he formed a partnership with Leo Seidenverg. As the Seidenverg-Wittenberg Trading Company, they leased the schooner "Bender Brothers."
