Description
Photograph of the paddle wheeler Skeena at a dock, likely the dock in Fort Langley. The Skeena (Vancouver BC), pilings and gangway are visible.
People/Subject
S.S. Skeena
The river boat, the S.S. Skeena, used to dock just north of the Hassall House near the foot of 272nd Street. The S.S. Skeena holds great heritage value as it was a passenger vessel that ran from New Westminister to Chilliwack. When the Skeena’s captain, Captain Charles E. Seymour died in 1925, the boat was tied up in New Westminster, marking the end of sternwheelers on the Lower Fraser River.
