Steamboats of the Yukon River : ウィキペディア英語版 | Steamboats of the Yukon River
Steamboats on the Yukon River played a role in the development of Alaska and Yukon. Access to the interior of Alaska and Yukon was hindered by large mountains and distance, but the wide Yukon River provided a feasible route. The first steamers on the lower Yukon River were work boats for the Collins Overland Telegraph in 1866 or 1867, with a small steamer called ''Wilder''. The mouth of the Yukon River is far to the west at St. Michael and a journey from Seattle or San Francisco covered some . ==Early history== There were a series of steamers owned by the Alaska Commercial Company: ''Yukon'' (screw propeller) of 1869, and ''St. Michael'' (stern wheel) of 1879. Slowly the north was opened up with the help of river steamers. ''Portus B. Weare'' worked the river after 1892. In 1897 there were 7 steamers operating in the Yukon, by 1899 there were 30.
