Harris Murdock Whiting was born in Topeka, Kansas in 1888. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and then embarked on an engineering career. His work took him to California, Washington, Alaska, Arizona, and British Columbia. From 1939 to 1942, Whiting was field engineer for the general contracting firm of Siems Drake-Puget Sound in Seattle, Washington for military projects in Alaska. The U.S. Navy, Bureau of Yards and Docks, Contract NOy-3750, involved construction of naval facilities at Sitka, Kodiak, Unalaska Island, Dutch Harbor, and Sand Point.

These projects were in Kodiak, Cape Sarichef on Unimak Island, Adak, Shemya, Cold Bay, and Attu. Harris Whiting died in 1981.
