SS York was a small steamer that was used to haul freight on Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake.[1] York was built in 1902 by Bertram Iron Works of Toronto[1] and assembled at Okanagan Landing. She was pre-fabricated with a steel hull and was twin-screw-driven. She was a small vessel in comparison to the many other ships on the lake; York was only 88 by 16 feet (27 by 4.9 metres). York was capable of moving 134 tons in freight[1] and could carry up to 90 passengers.[2]
