Steamships being built at Moran Brothers shipyard, Seattle, 1898
Order an ImageThe Klondike gold rush brought lots of business to the Moran Brothers shipyard. In 1898, the company built twelve steamers to carry people and supplies on the Yukon River. The vessels were 175 feet long and 35 feet wide. They were built to be used in shallow river water, but they also had to be sturdy enough to make the ocean voyage to Alaska in the first place.
This 1898 photo, taken by Anders B. Wilse, shows the Yukon River steamers built in Seattle by Moran Brothers. All twelve steamers were built at the same time, and they traveled to Alaska together.
