After her nearly sixty years of service, she was sold to the town of Kaslo and restored. Today she is a National Historic Site of Canada[1][2] and the world's oldest intact passenger sternwheeler.[3]
A replica of the Moyie currently runs in Heritage Park Historical Village in Calgary. It does seasonal runs in the Glenmore Reservoir.
