Yosemite on the left in Victoria Harbour in the 1890s. The enormous beam of the vessel, made necessary by the sidewheels, is readily apparent, as well as the extensive ornamentation of the all-wooden vessel.

The steamboat Yosemite operated for almost fifty years on San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento River, inland coastal waters and the lower Fraser River in British Columbia, and Puget Sound.
