SS Moyie - Kaslo BC

In a previous post, I mentioned how enamoured we were with our recent visit to Kaslo BC, a small town of about 1,000 people. Remarkably, it's home to two National Historic Sites, one of which is the SS Moyie, the last Canadian Pacific Railway sternwheeler to travel on Kootenay Lake. Today, the Moyie is drydocked in town and is unique in that, unlike all the other sternwheelers we've seen, it is fully fitted out with mostly original fittings and furnishings. If you're not interested in antique boats, you can skip this post, but, we couldn't help but admire the beauty and craftmanship that went into this boat and will let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy!
