Visit to the S.S. Klondike © Parks Canada / Fritz Mueller, 2009
A visit to the S.S. Klondike takes you back to a time when it was waterways, not roads, which provided remote Yukon communities with a lifeline to the outside world – a time when steam powered sternwheelers chugged up and down the Yukon River carrying gold, silver-lead ore, freight, mail and passengers seeking fortune or adventure.
