Reviews of S.S. Klondike National Historic Site (Tourist Attraction)

Carol Ouellet

Impressive and short. Has a video to watch and explains how everything worked and happened. Then walk in that boat and ask questions, they know their stuff. Very interesting overall. When I went it was in reno so I did not get to see everything but it was also temporarily free.

Dennis Patrick Ellis

Classic "travel"from yesteryear-paddle boat sternwheeler. No smoking. No over night camping. Tours available during summertime. Watch children; this "classic" sits near our Yukon River. Enjoy this rare beauty.

François-Michel Brière

Visited in the off season... Still a pretty sight at sunset.

Neil Manson

Well maintained and interesting

Mike

Beautiful!

JoAnne Owens

Great guides. Unfortunately, the ship needs some restoration, and you don't get to see the whole thing.

Jason Courtepatte

Incredible sailors required to sail this ship through narrow passages and strong currents. Also imagined myself sitting down in dining room while boating on Yukon River.

James Cartier

nice landmark

Silvan Stucki

Very nice old historical vessel. Very good prepared and restored. We learned a lot on how shipping of freight was conducted in former decades. You can explore the ship on your own, take a self guided tour with an info flyer booklet (2$), or …

Jaime Cavasin

My son loved visiting the S.S. Klondike. It was a great addition to our trip.

Carrie Vermiere

(Translated) A most beautiful place. (Original) Un lugar padrísimo.

Paul Vermeulen

Excellent historical site!

Derrick Law

A national treasure that is kept well maintained. A must see attraction when in Whitehorse.

Kirk Tiberius

Take a step back in time and enjoy this monument. Great place to visit, right on the river, free parking. I only wish there was a decent gift shop to purchase some memorabilia.

Mónica SUÁREZ ESTEBAN

(Translated) Magnificent reconstruction of one of the boats going up the Yukon River towards Dawson City. Free tour. Guides at very affordable prices. Super dedicated staff, both at the counter and in the boat. Children find their joy there !! (Original) Magnifique reconstruction d'un des bateaux qui remontaient le Yukon River vers Dawson City. Visite libre. Guides à des prix très abordables. Personnel hyper dédié, tant au guichet comme dans le bateau. Les enfants y trouvent leur joie !!

Lindsey Lincoln

Cristian Law

(Translated) Good place (Original) Buen lugar

scott berry

Nice piece of history

Suzanne Jarrell

Clean and good signage but the boat was a disappointment. They have done a good job of restoring it but no nothing that unique for boats of the time.

Inés Cruz

(Translated) Beautiful view and more if it's in winter (Original) Hermosa vista y más si es en invierno

Alan K. Thau

Very well presented and preserved. It gives you and very good idea and sense of that era and how important those ships were for the local economy and development.

Colin Bonner

Very interesting to visit. I love to see history

Bernadette Tavares

Enjoyed my stay at Whitehorse. The S.S. Klondike was, definitely, a highlight of my stay, being able to board and explore the Klondike was quite the experience.

James Janzen

Very good guide and very interesting story.

David L

History and culture

Frédéric-François Desmarais

A fantastic part of Yukon and Canadian history. One of only two boats that remain intact (the other is in Dawson City), a definitive MUST-DO when in Whitehorse!

Doug Hilton

Looked cool. Everything is covered in snow, and of course closed during Covid and winter

Stefanie Mudry

Beautiful history

Bella Chan

Not open to get on

Dylan Soo

A icon of history in Whitehorse. Sometimes used for events such as the Yukon Culinary Festival Costumes and Canapes event. You can see the history in the summer when it is open to the public. SS Klondike was the name of two sternwheelers, the second now a national historic site located in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. They ran freight between Whitehorse and Dawson City along the Yukon River, the first from 1929-1936 and the second, an almost exact replica of the first, from 1937-1950.

Richard Brown

Awesome, I went because it's free this year and it's really good!

Vanessa Siemens

Cool historic location and has beautiful views of the river and surrounding area. It's a good place to go on numerous trails as well. the outside of the boat is cool to see

Way Allen

Fun stop to check out. It can be VERY educational, but then not nearly as much fun for the kids in the group. Just pick a few points to teach them and keep it fun. Loud/crowded when busy. Try to go when it's quiet. Staff are super helpful... If they have time.

Jade Phan

I enjoyed the tour to the S.S Klondike. The ticket is only CAD3.5 a person for a guided tour + information booklet.

James Bray

Nice, free historic boat to wander around in. Some areas were closed for renovation. Knowledgeable guide was available. Worth the stop!

Bob Lavendar

worth a visit. wish it still operated :P

Shane Ball

Nice steam boat, good for a photo, vistor centre charges you to walk on it when it should be free.

Angelika Jansen

(Translated) Interesting and well maintained. But one is maximally 1 hour by (including film). (Original) Interessant und sehr gepflegt. Aber man ist maximal 1 Stunde durch (inkl. Film).

YM Chao

Definitely an interesting experience bringing you back to the gold rush era. Worth a visit.

Eric Sutherland

Remember to do the kids quest too

Lorraine Holder

Very interesting..large riverboat..you can imagine how it travelled the river taking people up and down the river.

Dan Myles

It was lovely to walk on history and imagine what it must have been like to be on the stemware back in the day. It is a shame that part of it was closed due to work required in that section. A must to visit in Whitehorse.

Stephen Lee

A spectacular photo scenic spot. Closed for winter now

YK Mini

A rich piece of Yukon history

Jenifer Davidson

Excellently preserved history you can walk around on! Beautiful trip to the past.

Dan Furlong

Amazing. Don't miss it if you are in Whitehorse.

David S Morgan

National Hustoric Site for one of the five remaining steam paddlewheelers that were the life blood of the Klondike Gold Rush taking people to Dawson City to find their fortunes.

Maria de Los Angeles Valadez

(Translated) A most beautiful place. (Original) Un lugar padrísimo.

Shannon Luft

There was no effort to decorate the site for Christmas. The lights on the boat are nice but they could be much nicer.

Marsha Roberts

Beautifully restored historical landmark. Well worth a visit.

Sunny Ho

Step into the past as your board the SS Klondike, a vessel used to carry people and cargo through Yukon and Alaska via the Yukon River. A little small though. Free admission for a self guided tour, $2 for a self guided brochure, and $6 per person for a guided tour. It'll take about 30 minutes to check out the entire thing, well worth your time!

Atul Kachru

Beautiful in the winter! Can't go inside though.

Andrew Kalek

I've never taken the tour of the ship, however, the park is great and I love how they light it up around Christmas time.

Yolanda Rom

Good

M. Herrn

Beautiful view over the Yukon River in Whitehorse.

(Translated) The Yukon River’s route was once the main transportation route in the region in summer. Since roads and railways were connected, river transportation has gradually decreased, and ships have gradually become a tourist tool. However, economic problems have put shipping in a dead end, and ships have stopped and changed. As hardware for tourists to visit. S.S.Klondike was transformed into a museum. The luck of the other ship "S.S.TUTSHI" was too bad. A fire changed the appearance of the ship. Only part of the wreckage was connected by steel frames to form the original ship appearance, which is sighing. (Original) 育空河的航線曾經是該區域夏季的主要交通要道，自從公路和鐵路貫通後，河道運輸日漸減少，而輪船漸漸變成旅遊工具，但是經濟問題令航運踏入絕路，輪船也停馳而改變成遊客參觀的硬件。 S.S.Klondike 改造成博物館，另一艘船"S.S.TUTSHI"的運氣太差，一場大火改變了輪船的外貌，只剩下部分殘骸由鋼架連接組成原本的輪船模樣，令人嘆息。

Nice boat

Cecile McVittie

Dennis, our Parks Canada your guide was knowledgeable, great with the kids, entertaining and the restored Klondike 2 is a beautiful piece of our National history. My dad worked on board in the luxury tour years (1952-55), so this was very personally relevant for our family.

Sevdet Etcioglu

Great historical land mark, amazing place. However after Labor Day it is closed for the season. This information is not in Google Places! I am giving a 5 Star, because I am sure I would have been very satisfied if I could have visited the interiors.

Jim Sanderson

Take the guided tour, it really adds to the experience. The whole will take less than an hour. It is definitely worth seeing.

Steve Bolton

Not children under 5 friendly

Nolan Zurek

The entry is free, long with a $2 brochure to guide. There are multiple panels inside the ship, explaining certain artifacts. In addition, there is an informative free film. As of early August 2016, the top deck is closed to the public.

Derek Kwan Seki

Was closed during winter.

Éric LU

Like to be here in Dec when river freezes up, it is foggy ,with sunlights around 3:25,which is about sunset time , you need a pro camera to lock this beauty into your photo frame .

The Chicken Line

Join the guided tour it's worth it

Michael Kearney

Historic

Brian Barnes

Received a guided tour and it was fantastic. Got a real feeling for travel on these old boats up and down the rivers.

Beautiful piece of transportation history with great displayed and awesome staff!

Ron Ball

Extremely helpful staff.

Interesting and scenic. Great park for kids right next to it and a wonderful trail following the Yukon river. Free parking

Doug Stirling

Unfortunately we couldn't see the wheelhouse as it was closed for restoration. Good thing is that it it is being preserved for the future.

Bpraim

Great, easy parking, wheelchair friendly,

G. Derbyshire

Closed in the winter, but still worth dropping by to read the interpretive signs. I hope to be back in the summer some time.

I Y

Very informative free walking tour

Jason Courtepatte

Very interesting site, but it was closed when I arrived. I would certainly come back and explore this a little bit further if the weather was nicer.

Our Home Has 6 Wheels

This is a must see stop when you are in Whitehorse. This stern wheeler is not only beautifully restored but is fully stocked with cargo and stores of the day. Make sure to check out the film they show...navigating rivers in these boats was pretty amazing!

Dave C

Excellent. Parks Canada staff were very helpful.

Maureen Hebrada

If you like too know what this ship is for and why it land here

Andrea vandenHoek

Great history, Parks Canada staff are knowledgeable.

Adam Lewis

Really interesting site. Great information about life on steamboats during the gold rush. Helpful guides and information booklets. Displays were really well done. Downside is their tours are only in one language at specific time slots throughout the day.

Ashley Swartz

Parks Canada staff and huides rock ! Literally. The story of the S.S. Klondike is so fascinating. Easy to find, accessible and worth seeing.

william warren

Awesome !!!!!

Very cool museum to see . I advise to see the short film before you see the boat . The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable . Admission was free as well . Make sure you go see it before 5 . You are not allowed to go into some rooms located upstairs .

Marco Nardi

(Translated) Free admission, but some areas are currently not accessible due to refurbishment. There is also a German-language information brochure for 2 cad to buy. (Original) Kostenloser Eintritt, einige Bereiche sind im Moment aber wegen Sanierung nicht zugänglich. Es gibt für 2 cad auch eine deutschsprachige Infobroschüre zum kaufen.

Sean Watt

Great place, but stay off the boat. Tourists are ruining the structure .

Jim Fellion

Interesting tour

Kevin Tillman

You won't spend much time there. But the cost is great ! Especially appreciated how large this vessel is and how tricky it must of been to maneuver

Alexander Clark

Went on a tour, it was wicked, now I'm on the poster. 10/10

Alfred Pradel

(Translated) The S. S. Klondike II in its original condition. Well worth a visit in Whitehorse, Yukon. It is worth a visit with free admission. (Original) Die S. S. Klondike II im Originalzustand.

The Vokeys

Nice hosts - interesting story - free admission this year.

Sandy Richardson

Such a pretty setting and lovely tour

Olivia McLean

Google is wrong AGAIN! This one star review is because I didn't get to see it because it's closed during winter dispute Google's open times on here. Very sad I missed it!

Julia

No cost to visit. If you want a guided tour it's$6. Otherwise you can tour around for free.

Montse Díaz

(Translated) Place of tourist interest and in its environs it offers you an ample route on foot where to enjoy its varied corners and panoramic. (Original) Lugar de interés turístico y en sus inmediaciones te ofrece un amplio recorrido a pié donde disfrutar de sus variados rincones y panorámicas.

C. S.

Cool old paddle wheeler and history presentations.

Paul Jongedyk

Very interesting and nicely done display. Lots of history and insights to life in this area in the early 1900s. The staff at the visitor centre and on the riverboat could not have been nicer or more informative. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that some of the upper levels are not available which was disappointing. Otherwise well worth the time.

Dave Mack

A cool place.

Matt McConnell

Well restored and maintained.

Joel Becker

(Translated) Good place (Original) Buen lugar

Raúl Reyes

(Translated) The history of ship S.S. Klondike is admirable for the service he gave to the adventurous gambusinos since 1905 (Original) La historia de barco S.S. Klondike es admirable por el servicio que dió a los gambusinos aventureros desde 1905

It's free! They were very detail oriented in setting it up the way it would have looked back in the early 1900's. There was also a short film to watch. Interesting.

kevin yee

Fun and good history lesson for Yukon culture.

Marleny Guzman Vargas

???? amazing place

GERALD BRUNET

Incredible sailors required to sail this ship through narrow passages and strong currents. Also imagined myself sitting down in dining room while boating on Yukon River.

Craig Robertson

Just a neat piece of history. I hope the renovations will one day permit exploration of the entire ship again.

Beautiful historical place, one of the best known place of Whitehorse.

Memory of ancient yukon

Diane Kaminski

Super historic.... even the movie was shot by citizens in the 1930's. Free to go on board but $2 if you want the brochure to guide you through the boat. Boat closes during rain.

Nicholas Fan

Nice and warm family restaurant in Vancouver!

alana clark

Good for free

Justine B

Very interesting and informative

Norma Cardinal

Beautiful place to see

Tim Ordish

A landmark in Whitehores. Sad that it's sister ship, the Tushi, burned down in Carcross years back. It's nice to sit outside around the boat close to the Yukon River. I like to grab a treat from Riverside and head there in the summer evenings.

valerie gibson

Under renovation

Ritch Stevenson

Intresting visit, guided tour is worth it. Great job done by tour guide Kim H.

John Soanes (lost2gether)

A nice look into Canada's past. A nicely staged and preserved monument.

M. Pennycook

Pretty cool piece of history. Worth checking out!!

Philip Ganssmann

Free entry and a short movie. What's there not to like?

Ahmer Nadeem Memon

Unfortunately was closed for renovations. Wish they keep a section opened for visitors to take some pictures and pickup few brochures sharing the history

Jerald Taylor

The Klondike is a real piece of history and the boiler fire box and steam tubes were open so you could clearly see how it operated. The crew quarters were visible and you could walk on the cargo deck. The passenger quarters were not available due to structural issues but it was a great tour. Hopefully they will open more of it in the future.

mike mackenzie-grieve

very cool piece of history, and well worth taking a look at if you enjoy history.

Mario Yañez

Closed during winter season

Jeff Ross

Worth an hour to see

Touareg Travel Edge (W D)

Historic place. Good to visit, fully stock inside.

Andrew Corker

So much history

Tyson Doonan

Very cool national history museum but it did seem a little short. We did the paid guided tour and it was worth all 6 bucks a person! The lady that gave our tour shared so many insights into the world of gold rush Yukon! It was truly amazing. I just wish we where able to see more of the vessel!

Vittoria Trinchi

Love the history behind the S.S. Klondike. It has been preserved beautifully. I recommend reading through the fact boards since they do have some phenomenal fun facts!

Matt Gonzalez

Was free to visit, so that's a huge plus. Cool bit of history

rudel stricker

Nearly unbelievable, that such a big ship made sense on the Klondike River during the gold Rush years... Unfortunately, the ship's interior can be visited at special opportunities. But

Mike Young

The park staff were super informative.

James C

A Canadian historic site run by Parks Canada.

Seda Isildar

Closed on Oct 1st. It would have been nice to see the inside.

doug richards

Great display, very informative.

Zena

A definite treasure in history

Wade Ekvall

Got a full guided tour and my wife and kids loved it. Lots of amazing history has gone in this province and that’s an awesome way they preserved it.

Dave B

Great vintage paddle wheeler to see from the Klondike area. To bad portions were closed to visitor's. Still a great visit though

GWoo

A superb presentation regarding the history of Whitehorse.

Horst Bauer

(Translated) You get a good impression of life and work on such ships (Original) Man bekommt einen guten Eindruck vom Leben und Arbeiten auf solchen Schiffen

Shawn Carroll

Well presented historical site.

Amit Ranjan

Nice location beside Yukon river

Sky Blu

Loved it. So beautiful, and so much history. Cant wait to be back

WIlliam Cummins

Took the free self guided tour the second deck is in poor condition so you can only see part of it. But what do you want for free. There is also a guided tour for $6

Meaghan Griffin

great way to learn some gold rush history

M R Noneya

Do take the guided tour. Well worth the stop.

Ted Ayles

Very interesting and informative tour.

Linda Derbyshire

Raining lightly, but a beautiful waterfront walk.

Roy Bosma

Very interesting part of history

Brian Poho

Gold Rush ))))

hj flack

Lots of artifacts, period photos and furnished rooms such as crew quarters, kitchen, dining room, etc. Also a guide came later and answered questions. Very worthwhile!

Ryan Hofer

I really enjoyed the boat I would have given 5 stars but the top deck was closed for restoration. And the cost is nothing!

Lourdes Reyes

(Translated) So cute (Original) Muy lindo

Bella Lafreniere

Greg was an awesome guide! Had a lot of fun learning more about the the Yukon when you had to travel the river to get anywhere. The tour is definatly worth it.

Bram

Cool! Nice informational tour, worth the 6 cad.

Richard Ferris

A must-see part of your Alaska visit. Stop by the information centre and get your flyer and then take the free self tour of the boat. The upper two decks are now off limits until they can get them structurally engineered to 2050 standards. Sadly supporting full loads on the actual river for decades isn't sufficient proof that is structurally sound for just a few lightweight tourists. the government, for our own safety, has made the upper decks off limits. Bogus!! THE Parts of the ship you can see are definitely worth the visit everything is restored it looks great. the boiler in the front is awesome and the two steam cylinders as well as numerous steam pumps in the rear of the boat look great. You can go to the first Upper Deck and walk on the back half of it. They have a short film, it's worth seeing before you go onto the boat so you'll better understand and appreciate what you were seeing. Highly recommended

Luis Antoine Borges Dias

(Translated) Exceptional. Respectful place (Original) …

Sharon Stonge

Definitely worth the tour. We learned alot

Cynthia Beamish

Loved the tour that Greg took us on the boat.

Vincent James

One of my favourite sites I visited in the Yukon! This was a lot of fun to see and phenomenally interesting!

Eric Zapata

Worth it, such a beautiful view

Gordon Hart

Just an amazing place.

Paul Allen

Looks great from the outside but had already been on one before so did not go on

Douglas Chen

A good place to learn a bit history and take photos with the old ship. Unfortunately, the ship itself is closed to visitors.

Daniela Rank

Interesting place. Great visiting the ship. Living history.

Bernd

(Translated) Well done (Original) Sehr schön gemacht

Em Emily

A great place to take visitors during the summer for a free self-led tour. Really nicely done up so you can get an idea of how each room was used back in the days when the ship was still functional. Even better if you ask questions as the staff are very knowledgeable and will enrich your experience greatly.

Tanya Webb

(Translated) Interesting (Original) Intéressant

Gavin Duffy

Worth visiting to learn about the olden days.

Dennis Adams

Took the Guided Tour highly recommend.

Robert Tremblay

(Translated) Very well (Original) Tres bien

sepp wigger

Super cool

Gavin Finley

Cool old paddlewheeler that is preserved and presented well. We just wandered around without either the guide pamphlet or the guided tour and felt we got a pretty good idea of it. The guided tour may get you in some of the cabins, but even without that you get a sense of what it must have been like to steam up and down the river. Definitely a different time.

Lily McKevitt

It's only open for inside viewing in the summer, so I only got to see the outside and got a bit of its history. I liked what I saw and other than it being very cold outside it was a great experience !

Jennifer McGowan

It's an old boat

car ruiz

(Translated) It is not open all the time, it has no access sign ..... one is lost. (Original) No está abierto todo el tiempo, no tiene letrero de acceso.....uno se pierde.

Jude “Jurisons” Er.

Klondike historic site. Whitehorse

Pavic Ng

This is first time to visit really good

Neil Zinger

Since last visit they have added a theatre and tell the story of the paddle wheelers which is very worthwhile to watch... This site is worth the visit and touring the boat

Brian Uphill

This is a must visit. Very interesting and informative place to start with .

Reid J

Awesome!!

Jon Samuelson

Great value, and the kids really enjoyed the Parks Canada activity booklet that resulted in a prize. Only downside is some closed rooms and no interactive exhibits.

D BAXTER

Not really much to see.

Robert Juckett

Very cool museum full of artifacts from the time the steamship was active. Beautifully restored and full of information about the time

Vincent Beauplet

Interesting visit on the boat with great movie. It is better to watched it first. The top level is being refurbished (July 2018).

Gary Ramsey

Really enjoyed it

Josy

(Translated) Very nice ship. You can get a lot of interesting information there. The ship can be viewed free of charge during opening times. (Original) Sehr schönes Schiff. Man erhält dort viele interessante Informationen. Das Schiff kann kostenlos zu den Öffnungszeiten besichtigt werden.

CanadianCaptainMoustache

Fascinating to walk through, the SS Klondike is a beautifully preserved piece of history

Felix Girard

Our guide Kim was awesome and the boat is well preserve. Interesting to see how people travel the river back then. Sadly the upper deck is closed for renovations

Mike Spekreijse

Nice ship and history interesting. You can go on for nothing but there are no interpretive panels. You can buy a brochure from the info centre. Guided tours Are also available. I would suggest get the brochure and save 4$ over the tour.

Todd Smith

Worth the tour, very cheap.

YT12ish

Excellent bit of yukon history!! A must see when in whitehorse. I bring all my visitors here.

Brian Clifford

Interesting but the top was closed for restorations

Michael Virostek

Good experience. Would be even better if more of boat was open to tour.

Michael Gerhold

If you are in Whitehorse this is one of the best things to see

Stanley Moore

Great experience great boat

Jon Wetzel

Very nice riverboat to visit

Mike Michaels

Take the time to stop and enjoy a bit of history.

Darryl Reeves

Very cool piece of history.

Jim Wallace

Fascinating. Only wish the Klondike was still running on the Yukon river. Even so, it gives you a feel for the time when steam boats like this were the lifeline of Yukon commerce. The Canadian National Film Board has some worthwhile historical footage of those days that can be viewed nearby.

dale fluke

Don the fireman gave us a fantastic tour today. Thanks so much for talking about Frank Slim. I have been reading about him and loved your story about him Canoeing down the Yukon alone at age 7.

Brian Thornton

Well preserved but lacks information about it that help give it some historical context.

Vincent Goldman

I love the detail that the staff includes

Joel Smith

We took the guided tour and it was really worth it. The guide made us feel like we were right back in the steam Wheeler time period.

Marcel de Winter

Under construction

Sharon Apple

The short film we watched first, with footage taken in the 30's, was informative. The guided tour guide made the visit even more interesting. I loved peering around the board in the aft ...to see the huge sternwheel!

Juliette Girin

(Translated) Very interesting (Original) Très intéressant

danilo pazcoguin

This is part of history.

Dianne O'Meley

Well preserved.

Bert Chestnut

Late in the season, the exhibit is interesting, since it is next to the river, with a little imagination, you could almost envision the sternwheeler working the river.

Carla Braun

Interesting and historic. Take the tour to find out about Mr. Frank Slim.

Martin MUC

(Translated) 18min film about the history of the ship and the other paddle steamers free in continuous loop in the small house before registration. In the registration, here are explained the various possibilities of the visit: free on your own, a small guide written for 2 CAD or participation in a guided tour. Very nice! (Original) 18min Film über die Historie zum Schiff und den übrigen Raddampfern kostenlos in Dauerschleife im kleinen Haus vor der Anmeldung.

Sehr schön!

Half the boat was down for renovations so didn't get to see the whole thing, self guided tour was good.

Aman Khan

Nice place to camp and spend family time.

Aaron van der Vaart

Awsome. Wish the top deck was open. Still really cool visit.

Sheila Potts

We took the tour so we could learn more of our history. It was very informative and our guide very personable. Took us back in time.

Peg Jensen

I would put a "must see" rating on this stop. They gals giving the tours in period dress are very informative and knew answers to all questions asked by the group. It was a little disappointing that the upper decks were closed to the public due to refurbishing and making it structurally sound but hey, next time we come through it will still be there and probably be better!!! Lots of history here!!

Crystal Edzerza

Great

Jackie Shanks

Was very historic!

Robert English

Unfortunately the site is deteriorating and needs a lot of restoration to permit full access.

Siji Dominic

Beautiful place

toni chui

incredible and very photogenic.

Timothy Colwell

The SS Klondike is a great place to see a piece of Yukon's history. At one time there were numerous paddle-wheels which traveled up and down the rivers of the Yukon. Today you can travel back in time and climb on this historic boat.
