Abstract
This chapter reports on an investigation of Yellowstone National Park’s unique maritime heritage and focuses on material remains of the park’s 19th- and early-20th-century tourist infrastructure in Yellowstone Lake. These sites were examined within the overall framework of the historical archeology of tourism developed by Hunt (1994c; Chapter 1 of this volume), but they represent distinctive examples of an underwater cultural heritage not previously investigated in the park. Like their counterparts on land, these sites are linked to the broader context of Yellowstone National Park’s status as one of the premier tourist destinations in the American West
