STIKINE STEAMER

Print size: 18 3/8" x 15 1/4"

This is a cutaway of an early twentieth-century steamship plying the icy waters of the Stikine River with its mouth just behind Wrangell, Alaska. There are lots of adventurous people aboard in search of fortune in the frontier country of Alaska and British Columbia, including miners, loggers, elegant ladies, preachers, gamblers, fugitives and, of course, the steadfast crew.

Tom Crestodina, an Alaskan fisherman, began making cutaway drawings in 2011 to connect with his young son, Franio, while he was out at sea.
