SS Keno

The restored riverboat SS Keno, built in 1922 in Whitehorse [1], is beached on Front Street. It was used to transport ore from the mining area around Mayo down to the confluence of the Yukon, from where larger riverboats transported it upriver to Whitehorse and the railhead.

The Keno sailed under its own steam to its resting place here in 1960 but wasn’t restored until 40 years later. Tour cost is adult $7.50, senior $6.50, child $4.50.
