Echuca Slip with barge being constructed at rear
Echuca slip, with barge being constructed at rear, and several river boats in foreground. According to a researcher, it is believed that the boat up on the slipway is likely to be the P.S. Ulong, but possibly the P.S. Pevensey. The P.S. Ulonga was built around the same time as the P.S. Wanera was built upon the barge T.P. The P.S. Pevensey's hull was temporaily in use as the barge 'Mascotte' until the arrival of its engine from Marshall & Sons, Gainsborough, England, whereas the hull on the slipway is still under construction. Alledgedly there was a mix up, and three engines were shipped to Permewan Wright & Co, Echuca, instead of the one ordered - two 20hp units and a 7hp unit. The P.S. Pevensey finally received its 20hp engine, and Permewan Wright decided to put the other two engines to good use by building two more paddlesteamers for their fleet. The P.S. Ulonga was nearly identical to the P.S. Pevensy, and was fitted with the extra 20hp unit. The vessel to the left with only paddleboxes fitted is the P.S. Wanera, which was built upon the T.P. barge and gained the 7hp unit. The complete paddlesteamer to the right is the 'Oscar W.', which was built in 1908. The vessel in the middle is the stern wheeler P.S. Pride of the Murray, which was broken up circa 1910/11. Its engine and boiler have already been stripped.

P.S. Wardell at Echuca slip with boat being built
Although previously thought to be the 'P.S. Ulonga' at the Echuca slip, with another boat being built, a researcher believes that 'unless the P.S Ulonga is the boat being built, it's not in this photo. The vessel on the left is the P.S Wardell, which was a snagging steamer. The deckhouse sitting on the ground may be from the P.S Pride of the Murray, which was being broken up around the time of the P.S Ulonga's construction (c.1910)'.
