This historical photo is of the Klahowya, which was built in Golden at the mill docks in 1910. The engines having been repurposed from another sternwheeler. In the attached photo we see the Klahowya pushing a barge loaded with baled hay and boxes of some sort. If need be as many as 100 passengers could be carried on board and it ran from Golden to Columbia Lake.
The picture has recently been brought to the Golden Museum in memory of Norman King and the photo is dated 1912.
