Operations On Kootenay River
Annerly was the first American steamer to run on the upper Kootenay river. Annerly first arrived at Fort Steele, BC, then the principal settlement in the region, in May, 1993.
During the navigation seasons (generally fall and spring) of 1893 through 1895, Annerly was operated from Jennings, Montana north up the Kootenay River across the international border into British Columbia to a point on the river known as North Star Landing, upriver from Fort Steele. Annerly loaded ore at North Star landing and then transported the ore south to Jennings to connect with the Great Northern Railway. Annerly's commanders included Capt. James D. Miller (1830–1914) and Capt. Irvin B. Sandborn.
