Abandoned Ships: The Fate of Dawson City's Gold Rush Paddlewheelers

[@johnswof]

Once again Slim takes us along like we are right there with him. You can't beat the relaxation viewing Slim's little videos adventures always manage to impart.

[@stephenolaughlin6595]

I was watching in anticipation with that General Store & Bakery which one he was going to. Hoping for bakery. As always Slim didn’t disappoint. He’s a real fine film maker.

[@I_Santos_]

I couldn’t agree more. Also, your dog is adorable.

[@davidskaggs9914]

I actually feel like Im watching an episode of my favorite show with Slim. You always do a professional job of filming and editing so that the final product always leaves me wanting more adventures 👍

[@ken143108]

I have to say, you're a very good speaker. I could listen to you for hours. Stay safe!

[@EstacadaOregon]

Love your sense of humor with the Klondike Bar. Got a good laugh. We look forward to and enjoy your videos.

[@immostlyharmless]

Yes! The Klondike Bars were a very humorous end to this interesting video! Keep up the great videos, Slim!

[@BTimmer]

We have a supply of them in our trailer. Yummy!

[@marirose756]

Slim, I think I comment this every time: you are a born storyteller. I thought I’d be bored by this vid but nope! 👀 wide awake, no dozing off when I sometimes do on other creators’ content even tho I’m interested. I think it’s bc you turn a quiet story into an interesting adventure and keep it simple somehow at the the same time. I don’t know. I don’t think I’m expressing myself as well as you do that’s for sure . But ty for your stories that you share with us. I can’t read books anymore bc of an illness I live with; I can see your pictures on my iPad & obviously hear your words. It’s just my vision with words when reading get to be triple vision-imagine. I love you Slim for the stories you share with me. They bring me joy & I’m truly grateful for them and you.😊💫

[@SlimPotatohead]

Hi Marirose, I appreciate your kind words. You eyes may be a challenge, but your heart is still strong. Thanks! SP

[@johnranyak1374]

I really liked this video. The history and old abandoned ships was great. Thank you for sharing that trip.

[@noahcount7132]

The view of the fall foliage surrounding Dawson was absolutely mind-blowing, Slim, and the graveyard of the paddle-wheelers was well worth the effort you expended to share it with us. Thanks, too, for mentioning Pierre Berton's excellent volume on the Klondike Gold Rush. For anyone interested in a very readable, entertaining, extremely well-written, and comprehensive recounting of that era, it's worth its weight in gold!

[@TiredOldMann]

Box of Klondike bars in Tampa fl....$4 Box of Klondike bars in the Klondike.....priceless.

[@annavallentin4662]

You, sir, are an artist. The subtle music coming in as you reach the decaying paddlewheel ships is very effective. You extra effort to superimpose a historical photo of the Julia B overtop of the image of its current state is poetic. Thanks for another example of excellent craftwork!

[@greggoldman893]

In world that’s been modernized, sanitized, and de-mystified you are a true explorer! Keep on posting, your audience is here and waiting!

[@keithhicks1750]

Yet another award winning documentary. Thanks slim.

[@CookingwithAndy]

SLIM! Can't wait to watch this tonight. With all thats going on in the world, its been wonderful to have your peaceful and down to earth videos to help get grounded. Keep up the great work!

[@bluenation3838yoohoo]

@@ritaranee4787 NE India?? isn't taht place under military curfew or something?

[@floofycatz]

Excellent production again! James Cameron would be proud of your work in crafting such fine experiences. Your love for assembling these masterpieces is undeniable and propels our spirits into a pleasurable state of euphoria :)

[@mikoschannel6413]

Really enjoyed watching this vid. Thanks for posting.

[@sewistnotsewer]

Slim this is another masterpiece. I felt I was right there with you. Those ghost ships are fascinating!

[@jessejameson154]

Slim deserves at least a million subscribers with these quality made videos . People are missing out on this fabulous entertainment. If we all tell 5 people about them , we could get him the followers he deserves. I've shared this 3 times today. Nice work Slim !

[@kd4pon]

This documentary should go world wide!

[@karenr67]

It was an eerie feeling walking amongst the ships. Glad you did it.

[@oceanbrzzz]

Karen R That’s what I thought too.

[@singhthe_king9558]

All the time he was walking among the ruins I was more worried about a bear ☹️. Thank. God there was none 👍.

[@camrodger5381]

Dawson City is one of the most authentic turn of the century towns that we have visited. Thanks for another great video.

[@northerntranquility1614]

Hey Slim sights I would never seen thanks for taking me along for the ride I thourly enjoyed that . I have to say seeing those ship relics was a little sad can only imagine thier beauty in thier heyday Thanks again Dale

[@carmenreed2260]

Feel like the old Paddlewheelers welcomed the company...happy not to have been forgotten...

[@squarewheelsorguk]

Thank you for putting your skill, heart and soul into your broadcast-quality videos.

[@freezinweasle1]

Thank you so much for taking us along with you on your adventures.

[@kevinb660]

Slim, your content has been increasing in quality with every video that's released. I, along with all your viewers, thank you!!!

[@buckbowl]

Just discovered your channel about a month ago. You Slim have one of the best channel's on KZbin and now is my personal favorite! Love watching your travels and camping tips! Highly entertaining and educational! Wish there was more content like yours on the Internet and TV.

[@gowanfenley]

You have become my favorite traveler on KZbin. I may be stuck in the States due to Covid, but my heart is with you in the Yukon!

[@judysursely7511]

Thank you for another great history lesson. For those of us in the lower states that will never travel that way, enjoy your travels.

[@gloriagodfrey3899]

Thank you again for taking us to a place that we would have never see. You do such a great job. Take care.

[@libertyauto]

Holy cow. The production of this video was great. The haunting music during the ship explorations. The long walk between the hulls. Overlaying the full ship image over the actual debris. Nice job. Thanks for your videos.

[@theresadupuis8475]

SLIM 😀 YOU ARE FEARLESS! !!BUT WE ARE BLESSED AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING VIDEOS 🌞 STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS YOU

[@judyabernathy80]

Slim, the beauty you capture is always unparalleled! You have such a good eye for photography and the unusual. I could not believe those ships have lasted in such harsh weather conditions for over 100 years. At one time, you said you were not sure what you were going to do with your stills and beautiful shots. You shoot such framable things, and I think either a book or the ability to buy a specific shot would be great. Im surprised that someone hasn’t approached you already to buy those awesome photos. When you brought out the Klondike bars, I cackled out loud!! I love your sense of humor. Keep up the good work! It’s always a pleasure to watch your channel! ♥️❣️♥️

[@1951Roy]

Thanks for sharing the history of those ghost ships, the great men who built these ships are no longer with us. Through your video story you are keeping their stories alive.

[@maryj.1261]

Slim. Your videos are the best. Thank you for taking us into the woods to enjoy it with you. Your the best. The Yukon trip has been epic!

[@suzanne467]

🎶What would you do-oo-oo for a Klondike Bar?🎶 rang in my head!!!

[@lorismithokon9028]

Me too!!!!!

[@johnlindley9012]

Camping with a history lesson. Thanks for a great video.

[@Tuckerclan]

That you Slim for taking me along to a place I never knew existed. Take care and stay safe.

[@marianfrances4959]

Sweet! Those paddlewheelers have changed greatly since i first saw them in 1973!😉🇨🇦

[@glennhinatsu1110]

Hi Slim. Every time I watch your videos I enjoy how relaxing and artistic they are. I think it's the best you can do, then I see your next video. Better and better. Thank you for taking us along for the travel. I am in Ontario and always wanted to see the Yukon, now I have. I like the information and history that you provide. Thank you Slim.

[@peggydwyer1932]

WOW. Really enjoyed the old ships, and the gorgeous scenery. thanks once again.

[@wendydesharnais6975]

i happened on your videos a few days ago..and have watched quite a few. you have a calm voice as you narrate ..love it. and also love all the adventures that you go on. has me thinking sell the house and buy a van. i mean i bought the house to retire in..now thinking ,what was i thinking..i could travel anywhere i want ,

[@numbersix1027]

So now we know what Slim will do for a Klondike Bar. Go to the Klondike, of course. Excellent video. Thanks and stay warm.

[@dennisthehirev580]

This was like reading a good Jack London story. Thanks for the history.

[@TwistedLi401]

Dear Slim, thank you for taking us along on your adventures, for sharing history and nature lessons, your sense of awe and wonder and humor, and your poet's heart.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

You are a superb writer and storyteller! Your narrative is always spot on. Thanks for taking us along!

[@joanscotto5822]

Awesome pictures of the old ships. Thank you. Glad you did not take a fall walking in the woods where they were dumped to deteriorate. Great videos !

[@lindawoods6841]

Thank you Slim . I really enjoy sitting back watching your videos and your story telling.

[@merlin1477024]

Thanks for taking us along. Like so many others write, your videos sure make it come to life! Thanks!

[@thenewjerseydevil997]

Wow! Unbelievable history. The lives that were once there to make things work that we see in ruins.

[@sharonsmith583]

Really appreciate your videos! Love your relaxed attitude, appreciation for nature and your corny sense of humor!

[@thethousandstepsofhoneythe3742]

Thank you for that trip into the past!!!! Most enjoyable!

[@lindaheald9629]

Oh thank you, what an awesome video. Such beauty and wonderful history. Most of us will never have the chance to see that. I was glued to the TV and sad when it was over.

[@leedanielson7452]

Wow! Those old boats were just amazing!!! Incredible! 😊👍🎉

[@hollyslaughter5505]

Fantastic history of the Klondike thanks

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Your best video yet. The old boats tour was AWESOME. A Klondike Bar in the Klondike, priceless. Thanks for sharing

[@daisymae3511]

Wow!! such beautiful color!! And the landscape. Wonderful... 😊

[@uncagedtravels6391]

An amazing video packed with history & great scenery. Thanks for sharing.

[@happytoo10]

Wow man,that video on the old relics of the paddle wheelers is absolutely awesome, great effort Slim,keep it up 👍

[@elvispreston3685]

Oh man the old paddle wheels was great to see, just an absolute treasure of a find, im so glad you filmed them...thanks again for the fantastic video 👍💯🙏❤⚡

[@timcomer262]

No apologies needed for wanting some comfort now and then. Awesome episode Slim.

[@harditan1755]

Every time I check KZbin, I'm just looking for Slim's newest video even though I've already subscribed it. I can't hardly wait to watch his new video to come. Keep it up, Slim... May God always bless you 🙏

[@darkroadsparanormal3740]

Great content Slim!!! I enjoyed being there with you through the video. I always enjoy wherever you go next.

[@hoyo1465]

Best video ever! Loved the history lesson . Keep them coming

[@projekt6_official]

Neat! Thanks for sharing! The overlay around 22:something was really awesome!

[@pagewhite61]

That was so interesting and the Klondike Bar bit was hilarious! Thanks Slim.

[@AmazingMichaelful]

Thanks for these videos Slim. I find them very inspiring. The remains of those paddle boats were so cool!

[@DanyRivard]

Many tumbs up ! The sternwheeler of Dawson is a great part of our history ..., very interesting !

[@morg52]

Some planks I tore from the cabin floor and lit the boiler fire. Some coal I found that was lying around and heap the fuel up higher.... Then I burrowed a hole in the glowing coals and stuffed in my friend Sam Mc Gee... Then I took a hike for I didn't like to hear him sizzle so.

[@oceanbrzzz]

Mickey Xtian I enjoy Robert Service and The Cremation of Sam McGee.

[@janicepaisley6799]

WOW ! You have knocked it out of the park with your Yukon videos . This one in particular was the best . Your paddleboat video put me back to the first time I saw the titanic under sea video . The fall scenery is absolutely drop dead stunning !!!!! Thank you for taking me to places that I would not otherwise see ! I'm still giggling about your Klondike bar purchase . Stay well . Drive safe . Thank you .

[@likethedrinkbutspelleddiff4605]

I honestly forgot I was watching slim and felt like I was watching a pbs documentary, and a good one too.

[@talkingbird7529]

I like how you narrate..thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@davidmiracle398]

I watch your videos once in awhile. I spent years of my early childhood in cold climates. After I got out of the army in the late 1950's, I moved to California and have never looked back. I would much prefer to watch you travel through the South, and in warmth. I dislike the cold and your cold climate videos make me shiver. At 83 now, I don't need that, not even in a second handed way. Just sayin'.....

[@trafficsnitch3505]

Wow Slim just wow. Your videos just go from strength to strength.

[@TimGamble]

Thank you for your videos. I have learned so much watching you and often during your videos I pause it to google your location or your current sight of camera. Very informative.

[@rrr_rozell7992]

That was awesome! Loved seeing the old boats. Thanks for sharing

[@sueprostko3222]

You are so much better than the history channel... awesome adventure ... THANK YOU !

[@carolynmesser7199]

Great trip to the Past . Your a wonderful storyteller. Thank you for the trip. I’ll never make it there . 🙏💕🙏

[@dixxebell]

Wow that wood is over 100 yrs old and still looks strong...really fantastic..

[@Maidendg]

Thank you for sharing this with us! I absolutely loved it. Top notch video, Slim. You got me googling those steamboats, they sure were majestic! Seeing the huge crowds waiting to board them, I'm glad there are pictures to save those times in history. Very cool.

[@jeancthomson]

Thanks for taking me to a place I could not physically reach. So interesting.

[@msehruz7489]

Another beautiful story. Thank you for taking me along on your journey.

[@imxploring]

Fantastic video! Thanks for taking us along on the adventure!

[@Troutay]

I thought you would come out with beer! The old paddle wheelers reminded me of dinosaur bones.

[@magidogg4228]

My thought exactly

[@paulskystoneadventures]

Great vidio of the old sternwheelers and countryside 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍

[@davidsradioroom9678]

I could imagine those old ships paddling up and down the river. What a wonderful glimpse into history! You have a way of telling things which keeps me coming back again and again. Oh, yes, I was thinking of those Klondike bars way before you went into the general store. Too bad the museum was closed.

[@Brian-ko9qy]

Your descriptions and photography are awesome. Even if you wimped out we were right there with you, all bundled up!

[@kristiejacobs4854]

Wonderful video! Love your hikes and how you take us to such unique places. And we love how you show your appreciation for nature!

[@bizim_eller]

Wow, loved the video, amazing history, craftsmanship, and much more. Thumbs up sir👍👍🙂

[@bertadelaudebri7179]

As always Slim, great video both in terms of the narration and the quality HQ. Thanks for sharing your camping adventures...

[@ralphsmith8682]

Too bad about the museum being closed. Your videos are always great.

[@kxrv6629]

Another great vid Slim! Wonderfully and articulately narrated. Dawson City was one of our favorite places on our Canada-Alaska adventure in 2019. The dirt streets and vintage buildings feel more authentic than any Gold Rush town I’ve ever visited. The Paddlewheel graveyard is fascinating just trying to figure out how many ships went there to die. The adjacent provincial campground is a nice place to stay to explore Dawson City except you have to take the ferry there and back. We also stayed at the RV park in the heart of town which is within walking distance of everything.

[@stealthexpressvan8475]

Great cinematography

[@stephenolaughlin6595]

You are a treasure to at least all of North America.

[@jeffallen7327]

Thanks Slim, Glad to see you doing fine. I like all your video's. You are still the BEST!!!

[@chrislonsberry1974]

Thanks for searching out boats. The CBC put out a series a couple of years ago called The Great Canadian Rivers. In the segment on the Yukon they cover the paddle wheelers. I found the series on Amazon Prime. I highly recommend it. Canada has some incredible rivers.

[@karencharny1497]

Thanks for the adventure

[@marks1926]

The scenery was awesome! You make great videos! You can have a crazy day at work and then come home and watch streams and colorful trees it's relaxing. Thanks!

[@deeanderson5670]

Thank you, Slim for sharing your trip. Very interesting.

[@wesleymcgonagle3394]

loved the superimposed photo over the wreck, great job on the videos again.

[@cldoggie2860]

Hi Slim, this was great to see again! We went on my first ferry ride because there was no bridge to get to Dawson City!!! WOW!! It was amazing and scary to me!! Went to a bar on one of the corners and ordered some food to go!! What a trip!! the place was real old but very clean!! Wish I had known about the ships on the shore line, that would have been most exciting!! Thanks for sharing your adventure!!

[@silverbreezeRn]

Such beautiful aspens and birch trees.
