The SS Islander was a 1519-ton, 240-foot (73 m) steel hull, schooner-rigged twin-screw steamer, built in Scotland in 1888, and owned and operated by the Canadian-Pacific Navigation Company. She was built especially for the Inside Passage to Alaska and was reputedly the most luxurious steamer engaged on that run.

  • Die Islander war ein 1888 in Dienst gestelltes Passagierschiff der kanadischen Reederei Canadian Pacific Steam Navigation Company, das an der kanadischen und US-amerikanischen Pazifikküste als so genannter eingesetzt wurde. Diese Art von Schiffen beförderte Passagiere, Fracht und Post zwischen den Städten an der Pazifikküste von British Columbia und Alaska, eine Route, die Inside Passage genannt wird. Am 14. August 1901 rammte die Islander im Lynn Canal südlich von Juneau einen Eisberg. Versuche, den Dampfer auf Grund laufen zu lassen, scheiterten. Die Islander sank innerhalb von 15 Minuten, wobei 40 Passagiere und Besatzungsmitglieder ihr Leben verloren. Viele Quellen geben fälschlicherweise 62, 65 und auch bis zu 70 Tote an. (de)
