Neecheah - Whitehorse, Yukon Territory - Landlocked Boats on Waymarking.com

"Of the hundreds of boats which worked the Yukon River system, the Neecheah has had one of the most interesting careers on land. In March 1958, after being on the ways at Whitehorse since about 1928 except for 3 years during the war, she was sold to Ted Ter Voert, who planned to turn her into a coffee shop at Mile 900 of the Alaska Highway, 18 miles south of Whitehorse. The Riverboat Cafe opened in October 1958.

The Riverboat Cafe was not very successful, and in the late 1960s, the boat/cafe was moved to Mile 913, which soon became known as Paddlewheel Village. There it became The Captain's Locker restaurant, which developed an excellent reputation for providing a great dining experience. The Captain's Locker opened on August 23, 1972, and operated until at least late June 1979.

In 1990, the Neecheah was moved to the Yukon Transportation Museum, and in 1997 she was donated to them by Murray Hampton.
