Historische Notizen
This vessel was a sister ship of the Caledonia (III). This vessel served on the Stikine River. This steamer helped start the Sidney and Nanaimo ferry route on June 24, 1902. This service was called the Sidney and Nanaimo Transportation Company. The Strathcona had worked for three months of that year before this vessel blew a cylinder on August 19, 1902. The ship was unable to be repaired, so this vessel was retired from the Sidney and Nanaimo Transportation Company immediately and replaced. Afterwards this vessel worked on Howe Sound. On November 17, 1909 this vessel was wrecked at Page's Landing BC by striking a snag.
In 1910 this vessel was raised with pontoons and floated to New Westminster, her hull abandoned. (The Register of Shipping says this vessel was broken up.)
