Kaslo and the S S Moyie (Aug30)

The S S Moyie was the last Sternwheeler to regularly transport passengers on the Kootenay lake. She was built in 1898 for the Canadian Pacific Railway and steamed on the kootenay lake until 1957.She is now a tourist attraction in the little town of Kaslo. She is the oldest known surviving intact passenger Sternwheeler in the world. Hundreds of steamers similar to the Moyie worked on every river in the west from California to Alaska, Yukon and the North West Territories.She has been completely restored and is now open to the public. We spent a fascinating afternoon exploring her and Kaslo
