planes parked at the dawson city waterfront

This old photograph was probably taken in the late 1930s or 1940s. It was taken by the late Chuck Haines, who lived in Dawson City at that time period. I think the plane on the right was called the Eastman Flying Boat, though I could be wrong.

This old photograph was probably taken in the late 1930s or 1940s. It was taken by the late Chuck Haines, who lived in Dawson City at that time period.

I think the plane on the right was called the Eastman Flying Boat, though I could be wrong. My friend Bob Cameron, who is the Yukon’s vintage aircraft expert, would know.

I hope he writes in to share his knowledge.

Photo is from the Yukon Archives—Chuck Haines Fonds.
