Starting sternwheeler.org

This site is a working notebook on the sternwheelers of Alaska, the Yukon and the Pacific Northwest. It starts with five boats: Tutshi, Klondike, Nenana, Keno and Portland.

The first field work is at Carcross, where the engines and boiler of the Tutshi survive at the SS Tutshi Memorial. The Tutshi page has the first set of photographs, grouped by port engine, starboard engine and boiler.

Next: particulars from the original drawings, and the start of a 3D reconstruction of the engines.
