USC&GS Yukon (1898)
USC&GS ''Yukon'' was a steamer that served as a survey ship in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from 1898 to 1923. She was the second and last Coast and Geodetic Survey ship to bear the name.
== Construction and characteristics ==
''Yukon'' was built under a contract let April 9, 1898 to Gas Engine & Power Co. and Charles L. Seabury Co., Morris Heights, New York for building the ship in components suitable for shipping under the supervision of Assistant J. F. Pratt. The components were shipped by rail to Seattle, Washington and then to St. Michael, Alaska arriving July 3, 1898 where a survey team under Assistant Pratt was waiting, having arrived June 29, 1898. On July 11 enough material was on shore to begin laying the keel. Work was delayed by necessary repairs to the steamer ''Taku'' which had arrived in "disabled condition" but ''Yukon'' was completed and launched on August 20, 1898–forty-one days after her keel had been laid and only twenty-nine days actual work on assembling ''Yukon''. From twenty to men assembled the vessel for launching. She was put in commission immediately with all equipment and stores loaded by August 23, 1898 "at 2:15 a.m. she started for the mouth of the Kwiklok〔One of the outlets in the Yukon delta, now spelled Kwikluak ((Geographic dictionary of Alaska ))〕 by way of the Aproon Mouth" for surveys. From the "Aproon Mouth" she towed a scow with the party's camping outfit to the Kwiklok where she arrived August 26, 1898.
