We have posted previously about the discovery of the Yukon Gold Rush iron sternwheeler A.J. Goddard which sank in a storm in Lake Labarge in October of 1901. Now with the discovery of a gramophone and three recordings, the music of the Gold Rush has literally risen from the depths of the lake. To listen to a recording of the Rendez Vous Waltz, recovered from the A.J. Goddard, click here.
