Paddlewheeler Steamer S.S. Nasookin

This is the top part of a paddlewheeler ship that used to make trips [before 1947] on the lake that it now overlooks. It is currently a private residence, but it still is neat to look at!

[Krista, 01/29/2007]

The remains of the Nasookin, the two upper floors and the pilot house, are now a home facing Kootenay Lake.
