Description |
English: The town of St. Michael, Alaska, is 124 miles southeast of Nome and around 85 miles from the mouth of the Yukon River. It was settled by Russian fur traders in 1835. In 1898 and 1899, Klondike gold seekers who could afford it sailed to St. Michael and rode a steamboat over 400 miles up the Yukon to the gold fields. This trade shrank after the building of the White Pass and Yukon Route railway from Skagway.
This photo shows the harbor and town of St. Michael, Alaska, in the early 1900s. Several steamboats, including the "Victoria" (left) and the "Hannah" (far right) are tied up along the shore.
