| Contextual Notes | The KLONDIKE was built in 1929, the KENO was built in 1922, and the NASUTLIN was built in 1912. All were built at Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, for the upper Yukon River passenger and freight service of the British Yukon Navigation Co. (pg. 401, pg. 327, and pg. 205) Funds were provided by the Canadian government in 1961 to restore three of the famous old Yukon stern-wheelers on the beach at Whitehorse as tourist attractions. These were the CASCA, KLONDIKE and WHITEHORSE. In 1961, the KENO made a farewell voyage from Whitehorse to Dawson City. At Dawson she was placed in permanent moorings as a museum.
