collectionapproximately
1898-19531898-19072 boxes (327 photographic prints, 42 clippings, 1
journal, 4 panorama photographs)Collection materials are in
English.Photographs,
clippings, letters and a journal documenting the Klondike gold rushWilliam 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.
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.
Lake Laberge is variously referred to as Lake Laberge, Lake LaBarge,
and Lake LeBarge in the text accompanying the photographs.
The original order of the collection has been retained. A subseries
contains an album of photographs, described in page order.
