Captain Steven York was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo.

York was born in July 1861 in Michigan. He came to Alaska in 1887 where he worked as a sea captain and was 2nd Mate on the Steamship Georgia.

He lived in Juneau for about 25 years and owned and operated the vessel Sea Lion which ran between Juneau, William Bay, Kake and way ports.

At the time of his death, York was employed as 1st Mate on the Grand Trunk freighter Tillamook. He was struck on the head by a sling load of fish that was being unloaded at one of the canneries.  York was brought to Juneau where he died about two weeks later at St Ann’s Hospital on August 14, 1919.
