Scope and content
This photo shows the profile of the Dawson with people on its decks. The caption at the bottom of the photo says B-Y Navigation Company Steamer leaving Dawson for White Horse (June 13, 1901) by Goetzman. The sternwheeler’s name is visible in this profile view.
Dawson was originally built in 1897 for Canadian Pacific but was sold in 1899. In 1901 she was rebuilt in Dawson for the British-Yukon Navigation Company until she foundered at Rink Rapids in 1926. She was named after the geologist George Mercer Dawson. She was 167 feet long.
The British Yukon Navigation Company was registered in Victoria on 28 March 1901.
