Public domain in Canada (photo created before 1946) and so public domain in US
The archival copy of this photograph states it was ca 1910. The vessel shown was built in 1897 and was no longer in operation as of 1903. By 1902 the vessel shown had been taken north to the Columbia River as one of the two vessels to pass through the canal at Canal Flats, and was no longer operating on the Kootenay River. The date of ca 1900 is therefore adopted as the more accurate date for this photograph.
