A. H. “Barney” and A. L. “Rilla” Bent - Penticton, British Columbia - Dedicated Benches on Waymarking.com

The S.S. Sicamous Stern wheeler is the largest surviving ship of the British Columbia CPR Lake & River Service. Launched in 1914, the coal-fired S.S. Sicamous operated daily as a passenger and cargo vessel on Okanagan Lake from Penticton north to Okanagan Landing (Vernon) until 1935. During the summer and fall of 1935 & 1936, it operated only as a cargo vessel until service was permanently discontinued in 1937. In 1949 the City of Penticton acquired the ship from CPR and brought it back home to this site in Penticton in 1951. Since 1988, the S.S. Sicamous Restoration Society has undertaken extensive heritage restoration to return her to her previous glory.

Come on board the S.S. Sicamous Sternwheeler & Museum to experience history of the ship and the heritage transportation of the Okanagan Valley.
