The SS Moyie is an interesting piece of history. It is well-maintained and situated in a nice location to make for very pretty views of Kootenay Lake. Definitely worth a visit while in Kaslo.

A superb 1900s paddle steamer, still undergoing loving restoration, that brought some of the first gold prospectors up from America into the Canadian wilderness.Really worth a visit.

You can't miss this attraction in Kaslo. Also, check out the museum in basement of the attraction office.

Worth the time to explore. It has been restored to show how it would have been in the early days including vehicles and other cargo.

renovated to a very high standard, and visitors can roam just about anywhere on the ship, even down to a car livestock and chef

The restoration of the paddle Steamer SS Moyie is very well done. This is a convenient and well worthwhile "must see" while in Kaslo

A piece of history that contributed to the area for 60 years. Nice to see this Kootenay Lake workhorse being preserved and valued as a museum. A must see if you are in Kaslo.

It was Pirates Day on the of our visit! If you come dressed as pirates, you get a discount! My children had fun. Games, hunting game, draw a treasure map etc. The ship is well kept with many interesting information. We can imagined how the travellers on this boat eat, sleep & being entertained onboard!

Every few years I go through the SS Moyie and I always leave there so pleased. Never a disappointment and they do add more artifacts. What a bargain. I will go back again.

Our whole family enjoyed touring the SS Moyie. Our 4 year old daughter especially liked that they had a scavenger hunt set up for kids throughout the ship. And she loved pulling the handle to blow the steam horn!

We all enjoyed looking round the steamer and imagining we were passengers aboard during its heyday. Take time to go round the boat if you visit Kaslo.

We really liked visiting the boat. The kids were kind of scared by the mannequin and we laugh a lot because of this. I liked to see up close how the boiler worked with the big piston actuator in order to get the wheel in motion. The passenger cabin are so top shape . The wood floor with it's dual tone complex pattern was a piece of art by itself. Some patient people have worked to build this.I' glad I've it, it was like walking 100 years back in time.

the self-guided tour was quite fascinating and I so enjoyed the experience of imagining what life was like back in the Moyie's heydey!!!

Awesome restoration and the story gives a huge education on the development of BC, the geology and the geography. So sad this was the only one that survived from a very important part of our history. Loved all the K&N railway history as well.
