I have a photo of an illustration from the Nov 4th 1899 edition of the French magazine "L'illustration". The article was about the Klondike Gold Rush and shows a banner hanging across a street advertising the ticket office for "Steamer Willie Irving"(which would have then been run by William Irving's Son John Irving). 70.66.165.111 (talk) 17:02, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
