Cheslakee (steamship) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cheslakee
''Cheslakee'' was a steamship that operated from 1910 to 1913 under the ownership of the Union Steamship Company of British Columbia. In 1913, the ship sank, killing seven people. This was the only accident involving a passenger fatality in the 70-year history (1889-1959) of the Union Steamship Company. Following the sinking ''Cheslakee'' was raised, reconstructed, and launched again under a different name. ==Nomenclature== “Cheslakee” was the name of a settlement of the 'Namgis group of Kwakwaka'wakw at the mouth of the Nimpkish River also known as Whulk. The name Cheslakees is said to have been that of the chief of the village at the time of Vancouver's visit in 1792.〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Whulk (Former First Nation village)" )〕 This town had been visited by Captain George Vancouver and the name was recorded in his journal.〔Rushton, ''Echoes of the Whistle'', at page 142.〕
