Neat pics. I like old Steamships too so that shot including Princess Patricia, even in the distance, is cool. Our visit was also in mid-May 1979 so small world, it sounds like we may have even been there on the same day. We did a round trip from Whitehorse and stayed 3 days in Skagway. I posted pics in a thread earlier, and am surprised nothing was running for you. I gather you drove right through, because there was the daily mixed train each way plus numerous extra freights. Or maybe they’ll be in photos still to post, and if so then am looking forward to them!
Cheers,
Ralph
