SS Klondike, Paddle steamer in Whitehorse, Canada.
The SS Klondike measures 210 feet in length and features multiple decks containing freight storage areas, engine rooms, passenger cabins, and dining facilities.
Between 1937 and 1950, the SS Klondike II transported silver ore, gold ingots, and general merchandise along the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson City.
The vessel represents the traditional river navigation methods of the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council and Kwanlin Dün First Nation territories in northern Canada.
The National Historic Site opens from May through September, offering guided tours that explain the vessel's mechanics, cargo operations, and passenger accommodations.
The upstream journey against the Yukon River current required 5 days while the downstream return trip took only 36 hours.
