Title
English: Crew members and officers of the sternwheeler PHILIP B. LOW gathered in a field, probably along the Yukon River, Yukon Territory, between 1898 and 1903
Description
English:

PH Coll 038.5

In the spring of 1898, the sternwheeler Philip B. Low began the journey to the interior Yukon gold fields at the mouth of the lower Yukon River at Saint Michael, Alaska. The shipmaster was Henry Bailey and the crew probably consisted of seven to fifteen men. Huskies were used as sled dogs to haul supplies and often accompanied miners to the gold fields During the Klondike Gold Rush, sternwheelers were often built at shipyards in Seattle, Victoria, Portland, and Vancouver, and then shipped and reassembled at the river site. Sternwheelers are paddle-wheel driven boats designed for travel on inland rivers. Saint Michael, Alaska was a popular trading post and supply depot for miners traveling to the Yukon Valley gold fields.

Almost certainly 1898, because the "Philip B. Low" only operated in Alaska under that name during part of that year; after that, it changed hands and was renamed "Eldorado".
