Keith, I’m not sure when they were added but I do intend to build her as she appears today in her restored museum ship state. I am going to light this model. I am finding references in the manuscripts of all the lighting. I am going to try to build her with exterior and interior lighting. 😎 My OCD won’t let me not do so. LOL 😂

The S.S. Klondike, 1937-55: A Structural History by Arnold E. Roos Volume III http://parkscanadahistory.com/series/mrs/342-3.pdf Excerpts from this document of nearly 400 pages shows promise of amazing detail and confirmation they are lights. It also describes in amazing detail other exterior lighting. 😎 The light sockets located near the aft running lights on the port and starboard sides may have been added at a later date. The problem with these is that they do not readily show up in photographs, as they were white on a white background; however, it appears fairly certain that they were not in place by 1943. Running lights- center line is 115 feet 6-1/2 inches aft of reference point- set in a 1 foot 4 inch diameter hole- held in place by 3 metal clips Update there are 6 volumes of description 4 of which can be downloaded.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
