Bailey Yukon Crest Decal
Inspired by the historic S.S. Bailey, this Yukon Crest decal honours one of the early sternwheelers that helped shape travel and freight movement during the Yukon’s booming riverboat years. Built in 1899 at Bennett, the Bailey measured about 110 feet long and 192 gross tons, built for speed and service on the demanding northern waterways. Remembered as part of the fierce spirit of sternwheeler competition, the Bailey reflects an era when rival boats pushed hard for prestige, schedules, and cargo routes—sometimes at the cost of wear, strain, and damage. This crest design captures the ambition, motion, and frontier energy of Yukon river travel.
Canadian Yukon Crest Decal
Inspired by the historic S.S. Canadian, this Yukon Crest decal celebrates the bold age of Yukon sternwheelers, when riverboats were the lifeline of the North. Boats like the Canadian were built for the Yukon’s shallow, shifting channels, relying on wide beams, light draft, and stern paddlewheel power to move passengers, freight, and supplies through challenging waters. Riverboat rivalry in the Yukon was more than legend—it was part of a hard-driving era where speed, pride, and competition sometimes pushed vessels beyond their limits, causing strain and occasional damage in the race for the river. This crest honours that adventurous and demanding chapter of Yukon history.
