Скачать или смотреть 1914 Paddle Wheeler TOUR (SS Sicamous)

This walking tour with narration of the 100 + year old Stern Wheeler was very informative and amazing. The S.S. Sicamous Marine Heritage Society has tours of the museum located on the beach in Penticton, British Columbia.

Paddle Wheelers have such a history in British Columbia s these ships traveled the lakes and rivers throughout British Columbia in the early 1900's. During the gold rush these vessels transported miners and tourists flocked to these vessel as a mode of transportation before newer technology took over.

I learned there are three types of Paddle Steamers. Stern-Wheeler, with a single wheel on the rear, a Side-Wheeler with one on each side, and an Inboard with the paddlewheel mounted in a recess amidship

A paddle steamer is a steamship or steamboat powered by a steam engine driving paddle wheels to propel the craft through the water.

Dustin from Destination Adventures YouTube channel has done some amazing videos on paddle wheelers and their history in Northern British Columbia. Check out his video:

About the S.S. Sicamous Society
The S.S. Sicamous Marine Heritage Society works to protect, preserve and promote the marine heritage of the Okanagan Valley. Our Society was founded to preserve the Sternwheeler S.S. Sicamous, and prevent it from slated closure. Later the society began acquiring other vessels and structures that were in danger of disappearing. Today the Society works to preserve, and communicate this unique chapter in Okanagan and Canadian History.

Protecting Heritage
There were once sternwheelers and tugs all over the lakes and rivers of BC. This part of our history has mostly vanished, as the fleets were torn apart for scrap, or lost to fire. Through the work of our volunteers, and the support of our community, these physical reminders of the past can be preserved for the future. We are working to communicate their importance with the public, and raise awareness about this aspect of Canadian history. Here are the structures that are under the care of our volunteers:
