This was the largest of the British Yukon Navigation Company's fleet that sailed the Yukon River in the first half of the 20th century. Beautifully restored to its 1937-40 appearance, the S.S. Klondike is a snapshot of the era of the riverboat in the Yukon.

    She is a beautiful sternwheeler from the steamship era in the Yukon, when the river was the highway connecting the various communities in the territory. Carrying food, booze, ore, guests and whatever else needed to get north, this ship made its way along the twisting, fast-moving, Yukon River. I have a new-found appreciation for the importance of transportation and the impact it has on the people along the way.
