Yukon, Whitehorse.
The S.S. Klondike was first built in 1929 and sank in 1936. It was rebuilt and launched in the spring of 1937 as the S.S. Klondike II, the largest and last of the sternwheelers.
With the great Gold Rush of 1896-98, it was the upper river between Whitehorse and Dawson that became the major riverboat route into the interior.
Altogether some 250 sternwheelers were constructed for use on the Yukon River and its tributaries between 1866 and 1936.
