Historic Photograph of Steamship Wrecked in the Yukon |
In 2005 a multi-year project was initiated to locate and document a fleet of undocumented and historic shipwrecks from the Klondike Gold Rush. This project became part of the program of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology in 2007 and to date it has catalogued 22 vessels in the Yukon Territory. All of the survey's work has been conducted by avocational and professional volunteers. In June 2009 PROMARE, the National Geographical Society / Waitt Institute of Discovery, and the INA funded two separate projects at West Dawson and Lake Laberge, Yukon Territory. |
