Boats for the Yentna and Susitna Rivers
Prospects for business in the Yentna and Susitna districts lead to the formation of the Susitna & Yentna Transportation Company. One steamer will be built locally and sent to Seldovia then to the river mouth, with three more hulls secured. Plans hinge on H Woolsey’s assessments as the rivers are largely unexplored and ice conditions dictate construction timing.
