The Hazelton was a sternwheeler that worked on the Skeena River
in British Columbia
, Canada
from 1901 until 1912. Her first owner was Robert Cunningham who ran a freighting business that served the communities along the Skeena River.
The Hazelton was named after one of the communities she served, Hazelton
, which was one of the oldest towns in Northern British Columbia, having been founded in 1866 and was the main staging area for the Omineca Gold Rush
.
Robert Cunningham had the Hazelton built to run against the sternwheelers of the Hudson's Bay Company
, the Caledonia and the Strathcona.

There used to be a ferry when I was a boy, biggest thing you ever saw, lit up like a floating birthday cake.
It seems you have discovered your unpleasant nature.
