The Paddlewheel Graveyard, is a fascinating spot because it is home run historical site, but it's almost forgotten by the locals. I understand how this can happen though. Often times, the things in our own backyard are the ones that get overlooked, or lose their interest. Lucky for me, I was told about this location long before arriving in Dawson City, and let me tell you it did not disappoint.
This location along the Yukon River, was once a ship yard, and is now home to the Ship Graveyard. As time goes on, technology advances and industry shifts, we must also shift with it. When these ships were pulled onto shore here, there was little to nothing wrong with them, other than the fact they were no longer needed. It is a shame really, because these much have been beautiful boats in the day, but that is the way things go. Nothing lasts forever, but I am happy to have had the opportunity to see these before they are lost forever.
I want to thank Alex, for making the time to fit me in for an interview. This location was surprisingly difficult to secure a reliable interview, but it managed to happen literally hours before I had to leave Dawson City. I am also excited to have seen so many people in the comments asking for this location, so I hope you are all happy to see this one.
A big thank you, as always, to my Patrons. I never had imagined I could make it this far north over the summer, and I owe that comfort to you guys and gals. Thank you!
