A well known tale recounts a giant woolly mammoth carcass found in an iceberg near Siberia, now aboard in Dawson. The creature weighs 25 to 30 tons, stretches 44 feet long, with a mostly intact left tusk and a 14 foot circumference. A hind quarter was brought in in sections, weighing 8,642 pounds, as crews camp along White Horse Rapids report frigid days and early Arctic travel notes from 1892 to 1898 including an extensive frontier provisions list and local curiosities.
