Sternwheelers and Steam Tugs

An Illustrated History of the Canadian Pacific Railway's British Columbia Lake and River Service by Robert D. Turner

The dramatic story of the CPR sternwheelers which served the waterways of southern BC, connecting the major rail lines with remote mining camps, boom towns and settlements. These beautiful sternwheelers served the interior for decades and their routes traversed some of the most breathtaking country in western Canada. The Stikine River service of the Klondike Gold Rush era is featured, and new material looks at the restoration projects surrounding two CPR sternwheelers and other early vessels.
