Figure 9. Reconstruction of hull of SS Klondike II Another notable part of the 2000 to 2004 restoration work the reconditioning of an old shipyard bandsaw (42" dia. wheel) from the Parks Canada industrial artifact collection in Dawson City. With this saw back in service, cutting of the rolling bevels required for the hull planking was made that much easier and greatly increased the productivity of the shipwright crew. The SS Klondike now sits in permanent retirement overlooking the Yukon River. It was formally designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1967.
