Photograph of Delta King ,anchored in the sand at Hospital Beach. Caption used in the National Geographic Magazine reads: 'Delta King, Once a Proud River Packet, Now Houses Kitimat Workers. Built in Scotland and assembled in California, the 250-foot stern-wheeler carried fun-seekers on Sacramento River excursions during the 1920's and '30's. In World War II she ferried soldiers to troopships in San Francisco Bay. Today, Delta King sits in an earthen way protected from the sea by a coffer dam. Her boilers heat hospital. school and other buildings on the shore. Some 200 men live aboard. Delta King, anchored in the sand, is a sister to Delta Queen, which plies the Mississippi. The stateroom window frames the cranes on Alcan's wharf.'
