Yukon shipwreck yields Gold Rush tunes

This sounds like an interesting find:

Archeologists have found new clues about the music early Klondike
stampeders were listening to during the Yukon Gold Rush, thanks to
recordings found aboard a 110-year-old shipwreck.


The three records and a gramophone were discovered last summer in the
A.J. Goddard, a sternwheeler that sank in Lake Laberge, north of
Whitehorse, in October 1901.
