 Four of the company sternwheelers hauled material and supplies for construction, while a fifth, the "Skeena", was used almost exclusively to supply food to the camps of the construction workers.Much of these supplies were provided by meatpacker Pat Burns, who had wisely anticipated this need and had a built slaughterhouse at Hazelton.In 1910, the last sternwheeler built for work on the Skeena River was the "Inlander".
