Sicamous, Heritage paddle steamer in Penticton, Canada.
The SS Sicamous extends 228 feet in length with four decks, featuring a grand dining hall, passenger accommodations, and operational steam machinery.
The Canadian Pacific Railway commissioned this sternwheeler in 1914 to transport passengers and cargo between communities along Okanagan Lake until 1937.
The Marine Heritage Society maintains the vessel as a museum, displaying maritime artifacts and presenting exhibits about transportation methods in British Columbia.
Visitors can explore the restored cabins, engine room, and dining areas through guided tours, with the museum operating seasonally from May to September.
The coal-powered steam engine required 1720 kilograms of fuel per hour to power the massive paddlewheel during its regular lake service.
