SS Klondike is the name of two sternwheelers, known separately as Klondike I and Klondike II, of which the second is a National Historic Site located in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. They ran freight between Whitehorse and Dawson City, along the Yukon River, the first from 1929 to 1936 and the second, an almost exact replica of the first, from 1937 to 1950.
