The Tarahne Historic Site in the Village of Atlin, BC, Canada is a cruise ship which rests on the waterfront of the village on Atlin Lake. During the 1920's it was a passenger boat used for transporting people across Atlin Lake. The destination for the M.V. Tarahne for most voyages was the Atlin Inn located on the other side of the lake. The historic vessel was built by the White Pass and Yukon Rail Company

The an M.V. Tarahne was a propeller boat. During the 1920`s the vessel was considered a luxury cruise by many who visited the region. The boat was retired during the Great Depression in 1936. In 1958 the boat was beached on the shores of Atlin Lake in the village.

Today, the M.V. Tarahne is a tourist attraction providing guided walking tours during the summer and is the host to one of the more popular events held every summer called the Tarahne Tea.
