Reseña del editor
On October 23, 1918, the Canadian Pacific steamer Princess Sophia left Skagway, Alaska, on its last run of the season to Vancouver, Victoria, and Seattle. A storm rose and at 2 a.m. it ran aground on Vanderbilt Reef. Rescue vessels were quickly assembled, but the storm worsened and they were forced to take shelter themselves. By the following morning, the Princess Sophia had sunk to the bottom of the Lynn Canal, taking all of its passengers--a significant cross-section of the population of the Yukon and Alaska--with it. This volume examines the impact of this loss on a society that, with the end of the gold rush, was already in decline.
Reseña del editor
The steamer Princess Sophia sank in 1918 en route from Skagway to Vancouver, drowning miners, businessmen, civil servants, and their families, a major loss for the population of the Yukon and Alaska. This volume traces the stories of many of the victims.
