SS York
SS ''York'' was a small steamer that was used to haul freight on Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake.〔 ''York'' was built in 1902 by Bertram Iron Works of Toronto〔 and assembled at Okanagan Landing. She was pre-fabricated with a steel hull and was twin-screw-driven. She was a small vessel in comparison to the many other ships on the lake; ''York'' was only 88 by 16 feet (27 by 4.9 metres). ''York'' was capable of moving 134 tons in freight〔 and could carry up to 90 passengers.
==Purpose==
''York'' was originally built to replace SS ''Victoria'' on Trout Lake in the Kootenays; however, SS ''Aberdeen'' was in need of a relief vessel. ''Aberdeen'' was in dire need of a refitting, hence ''York'' was launched on Lake Okanagan in 1902.〔 After ''Aberdeen'' returned to Lake Okanagan, ''York'' provided way point service(service to location when called in)(online ref.) and worked as a tug boat, carrying cargo that had been clustered on the deck of ''Aberdeen''. Although ''York'' was not intended to work as a tugboat, it pushed and pulled barges on Lake Okanagan during fruit season to move perishables to Okanagan Landing so they could be readied for shipment to markets.〔 During the winter when the lake would freeze, ''York'' was used to break the ice for larger ships such as ''Aberdeen''.
''York'' worked on Okanagan Lake until 1921, when she was relocated to Skaha Lake (Dog Lake), where ''York'' transported passengers on Skaha Lake and up the river channel in Penticton. Traveling up and down the channel was tedious and ''York'' frequently got stuck in sandbars. ''York'' retired when the railway between Penticton and Okanagan falls was complete, after which she was sold to Sid Leary (never put back into service) and eventually dismantled.〔
