Alex McLean was the captain or master of several Yukon River sternwheelers including the //Philip B. Low// in 1899.((Need source)) He was the captain of the //Tyrrell// owned by Thomas O'Brien and the Dawson Whitehorse Navigation Company. The boat was in collier and excursion service. In late May 1903, it went down to Coal Creek and then to Cliff Creek where the NAT&T had 1000 tons of coal ready to ship. In June, it again travelled to Cliff Creek and delivered a 75-ton barge load of coal to Eagle for the NAT&T Co.((Eric Johnson, "Industrial Railroads of the Klondike." 1993.)) 

The sternwheeler //Monarch// was built in San Francisco in 1898 by Mr. Turner. The boat was owned by F. DeJournal and was sold to Dominick Burns of Whitehorse and then to George S. Wilson of Dawson. It operated on the Dawson Whitehorse run under Captain Alex McLean. It was known as the "Pirate Ship" and was reputed to be Jack London's Sea Wolf. It sank in a slough near Whitehorse known as the Clara Monarch Slough. Captain Ed. C. Miller was a half owner.((W.D.
