Historische Notizen
Her engines came from the Caledonia (#107145). On November 8, 1909 this vessel was wrecked in the Skeena River when this vessel was ascending with supplies for Duncan Ross' construction camp at Hazelton BC Canada. This vessel had been lining over a particularly bad section of rapids when the cable parted and the bow swung out into the main current and this vessel was driven on the rocks at full speed. The cargo was salvaged and the passengers put ashore and walked the 15 miles to Hazelton. The steamer Distributor gave aid and this vessel was left for the winter. This vessel was later used on the Susitna River and on Cook Inlet during construction of the US Government Rail Road.
In 1930 this vessel was laid up.
