Dredge No. 4 is commemorated because it represents
the importance of dredging operations in the Yukon between 1899 and
1966. Dredges were brought to the Yukon in 1899 as a very efficient
means of mining for Klondike gold. Corporate mining played a major role
in the viability of the community of Dawson City and the Yukon
Territory.
La drague no 4 est commémorée en tant que symbole
de l'importance qu'ont eue les opérations de dragage au Yukon de 1899 à
1966. Des dragues ont été apportées au Yukon en 1899 pour exploiter très
efficacement les gisements d'or du Klondike. L'exploitation industrielle
a joué un rôle primordial dans la viabilité de la collectivité de Dawson
et des territoires du Nord-Ouest.
