Archaeologists in Canada's Yukon have found what’s believed to be the only untouched shipwreck 1 from the Klondike Gold Rush, made famous by writers Jack 3 London and Robert Service.
Underwater video, taken with a remote operated vehicle, shows the remarkably 4 intact(完整的) remains 5 of the A.J. Goddard.
The small iron stern(船尾)-wheel steamboat sank during an Autumn storm in Lake Laberge in 1901.
Three crew members drowned, while two others were saved, found floating and clinging to the ship’s small pilot house, which broke off when it sank.
The wreck 2 is a time capsule: boots and the jacket of one of the crew lie on the deck, along with a stove, scattered 6 dishes and tools. Just prior to the ship sinking, the crew added more fuel to the fire in a desperate attempt to steam to safety. Today, more than a century later, the boiler 7 door, to the left in the video, still lies open with the lightly charred(炭化) wood in the firebox.
The Goddard was prefabricated in San Francisco and Seattle, and then hauled over the mountains in Alaska and the Yukon to Lake Bennett, where it was assembled.
The steamer operated on the lake and rivers that led to Dawson City as a passenger and freight(货运) boat.
And its discovery also shows that the ship was self-sufficient（自给自足的）, replete 8 with（填，充） a small floating repair shop, and kitchen.
The discovery was made by the Yukon River Survey, a project of the Institute of Nautical 9 Archaeology 10. The survey’s latest dive was partially 11 funded by the National Geographic 12 Society Waitt Grant program.
