P.S. Ruby and P.S. Corowa
Bow and side view of 'P.S. Ruby' (II), with P.S. Corowa at rear, tied to river bank, according to Harry Godson, at Morgan, just above the wharf. A researcher is sure this is incorrect as there are no cliffs at this point on the other side of the river at Morgan, and the wharf and buildings are also wrong for a Morgan location.

In August 1888 sold to owners in Newcastle, NSW and believed to have been allowed to rot on the bank, however Lubbock states she was broken up in Sydney in 1894.

P.S. Pilot on River Darling
Side view of 'P.S. Pilot' at river landing on the River Darling, with horse and cart approaching, piles of timber and wool bales awaiting transport, bullock wagon loaded high with wool bales above the river bank, and several buildings in background.
