Description |
English: In the late 1880's and 1890's, the Seminole was a bark working on the West Coast, active in the lumber trade. In 1897-8 Sheldon Jackson, the well-known Presbyterian missionary from Alaska, lobbyed the U.S. government to finance a relief expedition of a herd of caribou to the Klondike to alleviate fears of an impending famine in the region becuase of the flood of prospectors expected to arrive in the area due to the gold rush. This sailing ship was used to transport the reindeer north to Alaska, even though by the time the herd reached Seattle for transport the urgent need to supply food for the Alaska miners was gone .
