SS Kootenay
SS ''Kootenay'' was a Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) wooden-hulled sternwheeler that serviced the Arrow Lakes in British Columbia, Canada from 1897 to 1919.〔Turner, Robert D. (1998). ''Sternwheelers and Steam Tugs''. Winlaw, British Columbia: Sono Nis Press.〕 She was a large freight and passenger steamship and the first in a series of CPR riverboats built for the Arrow Lakes.〔Crowsnest.bc.ca,. 'S.S. Kootenay'. N.p., 2015. Web. 30 June 2015.〕
==Construction==
In the 1890s, CPR purchased the Columbia and Kootenay Steam Navigation Company (C&KSN), which had hitherto provided steam transportation services on the Arrow Lakes. Soon after the takeover, CPR commissioned a series of three new vessels to improve services on the lakes and expand traffic in the Slocan Valley during the prosperous years of the late 1800s. ''Kootenay'' was the first to be built and was a large, attractively designed riverboat almost identical to the earlier ''Nakusp'', but slightly larger. ''Kootenay'' was also considered a sister ship to ''Aberdeen'', which ran on Okanagan Lake.〔Cox, Doug. (1995). ''S.S. Sicamous: Queen of Okanagan Lake''. Penticton, British Columbia: Skookum Publications.〕 ''Kootenay'' was built at Nakusp yard at Rosebery, near Slocan Lake, by Thomas Bulger and his workers. She was the largest steamer on the upper Columbia River until the launch of ''Bonnington'' in 1911 and had two passenger decks with large lounges and a dining saloon, a freight deck for fuel and cargo, and a wheelhouse.〔 Her engines came from the sternwheeler ''William Irving'', which had been wrecked on the lower Fraser River in 1894. ''William Irving'' was considerably smaller than ''Kootenay'', so the latter was underpowered and slow. However, she operated successfully for many years. She had an elaborate system of hog chains and cables to strengthen her wooden hull. ''Kootenay'' was launched in April, 1897 at Nakusp.〔
