The Riverboat Discovery
|
The
Binkley family has operated sternwheeler riverboats in Alaska since the Gold
Rush of 1898. Captain Jim and Mary Binkley first offered riverboat tours in
Fairbanks in 1950 and the business has grown every year since. Their three sons,
Skip, Jim Jr., and Johne, are all licensed riverboat captains, and
daughter-in-law Judy heads the Discovery Trading Post gift shops. The youngest
Binkleys join the crew at age five and continue the family tradition started by
their great grandfather, Charlie Binkley. |
