This photo shows three sternwheelers beached on the banks of the Yukon River. These are the sternwheelers that are downstream from Dawson City. It is known as Sternwheeler Graveyard. These were the boats that used to run from Dawson to St. Michaels and were drydocked here (about 1914) when the company owning them was bought out by the British Yukon Navigation Company (BYN Co.). Closest to the river is the Julia B., then Seattle No 3 and then the Tyrell (reference: Gung Ho! for the Klondike by Arthur Knutson)
