The two steamers Casca and Whitehorse traveled the Yukon River from around 1901 to 1955. This drawing was done by Dale Brown a year or so before they were destroyed by fire in 1974 on the banks of the river at the town of Whitehorse in the Yukon. A fire was started by someone camping out inside one of the boats which quickly spread to the other thus erasing this part of gold rush history.
