Built in 1937 the S.S. Klondike plied the route between Whitehorse and Dawson on the Yukon River. She transported general merchandise, local products such as silver-lead ore and gold ingots, as well as passengers to and from Whitehorse and Dawson until the opening of an all weather road between Whitehorse and Mayo in 1950.
