"The old Moyie was really the sweetheart of the lake. . . ."

For 59 years she served the Kootenays carrying everything from silver ore and apples to mail and farm animals. Royalty and settlers, salesmen and prospectors, school children and doctors all travelled on the Moyie. By 1957, when she was retired, she had outlasted all other passenger-carrying, steam-powered sternwheelers in Canada, the western United States and Alaska. The Moyie, always a vessel of distinction, is the oldest known intact vessel of her type in the world. Now a National Historic Site and a Provincial Historic Landmark at Kaslo, British Columbia, she captures the elegance, romance and excitement of a long gone era.

All royalties from the sale of this book go to the preservation and restoration of the Moyie.
