Journey back in time with Northwest Profiles as we explore the fascinating legacy of the SS Moyie, the world's oldest intact sternwheeler. In this episode, End of an Era, we uncover the rich history behind this iconic vessel that once navigated the scenic waters of Kootenay Lake and played a vital role in shaping transportation and commerce in the Inland Northwest. From bustling port towns to remote lakeside communities, the SS Moyie was more than a ship—it was a lifeline, a symbol of innovation, and a cherished part of Canadian and Pacific Northwest heritage. Now preserved as a National Historic Site in Kaslo, British Columbia, the Moyie tells a story of resilience, progress, and the enduring spirit of the people she served.

Produced by Lynn Veltrie in 1995.
