Title
English: Freight yard at Dyea, ca. 1898
Description
English: By the fall of 1897, over 3,000 people had poured into the tiny settlement of Dyea, heading for the Klondike gold fields. At first, ships had to anchor well offshore. The harbor was narrow and had a twenty-foot tide. Klondike stampeders had paid to get to Dyea, but their passage didn't include unloading their supplies and taking them ashore.

This photo of the Dyea freight yard was taken around 1898 by Eric Hegg. The yard is filled with piles of crates, sacks, and sleds belonging to people who have arrived by ship and are getting ready to leave for Chilkoot Pass.
