Davis for the Philadelphia Exhibition of 1876'. A researcher has identified the location as Mannum, South Australia, and has provided the following information: 'On the right hand side of the photo is a rectangular boiler which must have been from the PS 'Mary Ann', the first paddle steamer on the Murray, and the only one to have an oblong boiler. 'Mary Ann' was dismantled and lengthened and incorporated into the twin hulled paddle steamer 'Gemini' in 1855, and the boiler was discarded on the bank. It survives today, at the Mannum Dock Museum'.

The 'Lady Daly' built by the same owners was 112 feet plus wheel and served with success until the 1890s [On back of photograph] 'The date of the picture is stated to be 1862 / Information supplied by H.

She collided with "Jane Eliza" in 1876 and sank. She later towed "Bourke", and successively became a floating cold storage and butcher's shop based at Renmark. She finally burned and sank at Mypolonga. Notes on the back of the photograph say "According to a note supplied by Mr A Godson (donor of photograph) this vessel was equipped with portable engines, connected with the stern wheel by cogged gear. At a date unknown the main shaft broke and "Queen" was towed to Goolwa. Her engines were then put amidships and side paddles were installed. In her the Duke of Edinburgh was taken over Lake Alexandrina in 1867. At a later date she underwent extensive alterations and her old engines were replaced by Providences and iron top plates and broad guards were fitted." She had 16hp, 128gross,92 net tons, length 103 feet, beam 18 feet, draught 5 feet. She was built at Goolwa in 1865, she was lengthened in 1872.
