A familiar scene on the river at
Fort Smith, 1910. The large boat in the foreground right, owned by the Hudson's Bay
Company, was the "Mackenzie River". It was built in 1907 and was used on
the river between here and Arctic Red River. On the far left is the government boat,
"Hope". The "S.S.Distributor" in the back ground is in dry dock. The
buildings and the warehouses were for the trading companies. |

Fort Smith waterfront,1920. In the
foreground the "S.S Distributor". In the front "The Pioneer" owned by
Northland Traders. It was used to service the settlements along the river. Schooners like
those on the lower right were probably on their way to the Arctic Coast. By trading furs,
many Eskimo were able to buy schooners such as these. |
