Minto (sternwheeler)
''Minto'' was a sternwheel steamboat that ran on the Arrow Lakes in British Columbia from 1898 to 1954. In those years of service, ''Minto'' had steamed over 3.2 million kilometers serving the small communities on Arrow Lakes. ''Minto'' and her sister ''Moyie'' (which ran on Kootenay Lake) were the last sternwheelers to run in regularly scheduled passenger service in the Pacific Northwest. The "Minto" class of sailing dinghies is named after this vessel. Design and Construction Manufactured for the Stikine River service ''Minto'' was one of three steamboats built of steel and wood that were intended for service on the Stikine River during the Klondike gold rush. The other vessels were ''Moyie'' and ''Tyrrell''.There were about nine other sternwheelers constructed by C.P.R. for the Stikine River service, but ''Minto'', ''Moyie'' and ''Tyrrell'' were the only ones assembled from parts manufactured in eastern Canada. They were almost identical to each other but differed in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lytton (sternwheeler)
''Lytton'' was a sternwheel steamboat that ran on the Arrow Lakes and the Columbia River in southeastern British Columbia and northeastern Washington from 1890 to 1904. Design and construction ''Lytton'' was built at Revelstoke, British Columbia. She was the first vessel constructed for the newly formed Columbia and Kootenay Steam Navigation Company. Construction began in December 1889, but winter ice conditions forced a suspension of work until April 1890. Alexander Watson, a veteran shipbuilder, supervised the construction, for which he had recruited a crew of carpenters from Victoria, British Columbia. The engines for Lytton were second-hand, coming from the steamer '' Gertrude'' which ran on the Stikine and lower Fraser rivers from 1875 to 1887. ''Lytton'' was a typical Columbia River steamer. She had three decks, the first one being reserved for freight, machinery and crew quarters, the second for passengers, including cabins and an observation saloon. Down the center of ...

Trail (sternwheeler)
A trail, also known as a path or track, is an unpaved lane or a small paved road not intended for usage by motorized vehicles, usually passing through a natural area. In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, a path or footpath is the preferred term for a pedestrian or hiking trail. The term is also applied in North America to accompanying routes along rivers, and sometimes to highways. In the US, the term was historically used for a route into or through wild territory used by explorers and migrants (e.g. the Oregon Trail). In the United States, "trace" is a synonym for trail, as in Natchez Trace. Some trails are dedicated only for walking, cycling, horse riding, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, but not more than one use; others, as in the case of a bridleway in the UK, are shared-use and can be used by pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians alike. Although most trails are for low-traffic, non-motorized usage, there are also unpaved trails used by dirt bikes, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nakusp (sternwheeler)
The ''Nakusp'' was a sternwheel steamboat that operated from 1895 to 1897 on the Arrow Lakes of British Columbia. Design and construction ''Nakusp'' was commissioned by the Columbia and Kootenay Steam Navigation Company to replace the sternwheeler ''Columbia'' which had burned in 1894. Capt. James W. Troup, the company's superintendent, designed ''Nakusp''. When launched on July 1, 1895, ''Nakusp'' was the largest steamboat that had been built on Arrow Lakes. There were then two other sternwheelers operating on the Arrow Lakes when ''Nakusp'' was launched, ''Lytton'' and ''Kootenai''. ''Nakusp'' could carrying more freight than both of them combined.

Bering Sea
The Bering Sea (, ; rus, Бе́рингово мо́ре, r=Béringovo móre) is a marginal sea of the Northern Pacific Ocean. It forms, along with the Bering Strait, the divide between the two largest landmasses on Earth: Eurasia and The Americas. It comprises a deep water basin, which then rises through a narrow slope into the shallower water above the continental shelf, continental shelves. The Bering Sea is named for Vitus Bering, a Denmark, Danish navigator in Russian service, who, in 1728, was the first European to systematically explore it, sailing from the Pacific Ocean northward to the Arctic Ocean. The Bering Sea is separated from the Gulf of Alaska by the Alaska Peninsula. It covers over and is bordered on the east and northeast by Alaska, on the west by the Russian Far East and the Kamchatka Peninsula, on the south by the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands and on the far north by the Bering Strait, which connects the Bering Sea to the Arctic Ocean's Chukchi ...
