Sternwheelers on the Skeena River
I don't want to repeat written history of the
sternwheelers
as there is many books written about the subject.
this is a reminder page they existed
and for a few years before the GTP railroad was finished,
they supplied materials for Prospectors, Ranchers,
Farmers, etc
Just some pictures of the Sternwheelers to view

I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,

I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
If it works on just one person, per page, it is worth the time it
