Lake Okanagan, also called Okanagan Lake, is the largest lake in the Okanogan River drainage, which is tributary to the Columbia River basin, and is the core of the Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. During its early days of settlement and development, lack of roads in the region made the lake a natural corridor for passenger travel and freight. The Canadian Pacific Railway Lake and River Service was the main carrier on the lakes, providing freight and passenger connections between Penticton, on the Kettle Valley Railway (the Southern Mainline) and Okanagan Landing (Vernon) for connections to the CPR Mainline at Sicamous via the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway. Smaller vessels such as the SS ''Naramata'' provided passenger service to smaller settlements around the lake, as well as excursions for tourists.〔Penticton Museum displays, and heritage signs at the Okanagan Lake Heritage Shipyard on Okanagan Beach in Penticton.〕 ==Vessels== * (freight) * (luxury-class passenger service) * (luxury-class passenger service) * (luxury-class passenger service) * (sternwheeler) *SS ''Naramata'' (excursion and water-taxi) * (''Fintry Queen'', excursion and water-taxi) * - 1950-1960 (''Bowen Queen'' 1960-1965, MV ''Vesuvius Queen'' 1965-1998) * (steel ferry) * (steam tug) * (steam tug) * (ferry) * (ferry) * (1919 ferry) * (1923 ferry) *''Canadian National Tug no. 6'' (diesel tug) *''Canadian National Tug no. 5'' (tug) *MV ''Kelowna-Westbank'' (ferry) * (1912 ferry) * (1906 ferry) * (ferry) * (ferry) *''Colleen'' (rowboat) * (ferry) * (ferry) * (ferry) * (tug) * (early steamship) *''Ruth Shorts'' (rowboat) * (early steamship) * (early steamship) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steamboats of Lake Okanagan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
