[edit] Importance rating

Are you sure it's only of low importance in BC? Being that the Moyie is a National Historic Site and the last intact sternwheeler of that era in the world? I know I'm a tad biased here, being a sternwheeler buff, but I think its historical (and present) importance is quite high.CindyBotalk 08:14, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's perfect, thanks.CindyBotalk 23:15, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Moyie on the Slocan?

I spoke to a friend in the Slocan yesterday. He said there were steamboats on Slocan Lake, and seemed to think one of them was the Moyie. Was it hauled over Bonanza Pass from Nakusp or what? Seems a bit much to bring it over via Retallack, or maybe it was hauled up the Slocan River somehow? Could be he's wrong, he wasn't sure.Skookum1 (talk) 17:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Moyie was never on Slocan Lake, I believe the propeller steamer York, the sternwheeler Slocan, and the steam tug Rosebery were on Slocan Lake, and maybe some others.Mtsmallwood (talk) 18:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Navbox

I added a new navbox for Kooteanay Lake and Kootenai River steamboats, but I left the Steamboats of British Columbia navbox on the page, due primarily to the importance of this vessel to the rest of British Columbia, as well as the fact that Moyie was originally designated for service on the Stikine River.Mtsmallwood (talk) 18:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
