Here is a list of the known steamboat wrecks on Lake Coeur d'Alene. It is estimated there were approximately 200 steamboats that graced the waters of the lake from 1880, the first one being the Amelia Wheaton to the last passenger steamer 1920 and the ultimate last steam power boat the Tugboat 1943. Boats varied in size to 20-foot pleasure boats called launches, to tugboats of 30-60 feet, to 120-180 ferries.
We have line drawings of 18 steamboats on our Historical Lake Coeur d'Alene Chart that are Not pictured here due to our effort to protecting our art from online thieves, etc. Our chart is available for sale from us at FunToSAIL.com on our online store and at various shows we attended, and in store only at Jakes Dive Shop in Coeur d'Alene Idaho.
