Biographical NoteReturn to Top
William E. Meed, with his wife Mabel, traveled to Dawson, Yukon Territory, Canada, in 1898 to work in river transportation during the Klondike gold rush. Meed became the freight and passenger agent for the Bennett Lake and Klondike Navigation Co. shortly after his arrival at Dawson in 1898. The company operated the vessels Ora , Nora , and Flora between Whitehorse and Dawson. He soon also became an agent for the Canadian Development Co., which operated the steamboats Victorian , Columbian , and Canadian .
At the turn of the century, Meed became chief owner and manager of the Yukon Dock Company at Dawson. He then formed the Stewart River Co. on Dec. 22, 1900, for the purpose of building and operating the first boat that was suitable for navigating the Stewart River. The sternwheel steamer Prospector was built in Whitehorse in 1901, the name indicating the exploratory purpose of the boat, and also identifying it with those men whom it was intended to serve. The Prospector was designed by a prominent Victoria boat builder, and Capt. James A. Ritchie was given command of the vessel.
The Meeds moved in 1907 to Victoria, British Columbia, where William was an orchardist and manager of a shipyard. Little is know of intervening years, but by 1936, William Meed was a salesman living alone in Vancouver, B.C., near his daughter Edna. In the 1940s, he wrote reminiscences of his Klondike experiences for a Vancouver newspaper.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The collection primarily contains photographs compiled by William E. Meed documenting the Klondike gold rush and related activities in the vicinity of Dawson, Yukon Territory. Some images were taken by prominent commercial photographers such as Eric A. Hegg, Kinsey & Kinsey (Clark Kinsey and Clarence Kinsey), H.J. Goetzman, H.C. Barley, and George G. Cantwell. These depict Klondike mines and mining activities in the Dawson vicinity, Dawson street scenes, views along the Chilkoot Trail and the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad, steamboats and steamboat landings, and other Klondike scenes. Meed was an amateur photographer himself and took a number of photographs that document his own activities, his family and friends, and his fellow workers for the Stewart River Co. and aboard the steamboat Prospector . The snapshots show Dawson's cabin residences, the Dawson docks and freighting activities, outings by dogsled, wilderness roadhouses, and domestic scenes. The collection is accompanied by a series of captions derived from Meed's journal, a narrative account of his Klondike experiences that is keyed to the photographs. Also included are related newspaper clippings and correspondence.
Other Descriptive InformationReturn to Top
Lake Laberge is variously referred to as Lake Laberge, Lake LaBarge, and Lake LeBarge in the text accompanying the photographs.
