Kapal Korek Pacific Tin Consolidated Corp.


Kapal korek ini telah dibawa daripada Yukon, Alaska ke Tanah Melayu pada awal abad ke-20. Kapal korek yang asalnya digunakan untuk melombong emas di Yukon telah dimodifikasikan untuk digunakan bagi aktiviti perlombongan bijih timah di Tanah Melayu oleh syarikat Yukon Gold Company (kemudiannya dikenali sebagai Pacific Tin Consolidated Corporation) daripada Amerika Syarikat.
