The Athabasca at Athabasca Landing in 1896.

The Athabasca was a steampowered sternwheel riverboat, operated by the Hudson's Bay Company on a portion of the Athabasca River.[1][2] She was built on the shores of the river in 1888, at Athabasca Landing, the end of a long portage from Edmonton.

She carried cargo from Athabasca Landing to the Grand Rapids from her launch in 1888 until 1897.[1] In 1897 the decision was made to transport cargo downstream to the rapids in smaller unpowered scows, and she was used as a floating warehouse.
