A WONDERFUL AND HISTORIC PAIR OF ITEMS FROM THE KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH.

"Portus B. Weare" was a wooden sternwheel steamship built in 1892 for service on the Yukon River. She played a notable role in the Klondike gold rush, being the second ship to bring news of the Klondike gold strike and an estimated $1 million in gold down the river in 1897. This set off the gold rush. The vessel carried freight and passengers up the Yukon to Dawson City and later Fairbanks. She was abandoned in 1926 or 1927, after the need for steamboat transport to the interior declined. (Image1) (Image2)
