S.W. Pearl steaming beside the P.S. Ruby
Bow view of sternwheeler 'S.W. Pearl' steaming, before the funnel was shortened, with the original P.S. Ruby and barge, near the river bank. According to a researcher, 'this is not the original Ruby. The first Ruby on the river was built in Melbourne in 1853 and Cadell brought her to the Murray to replace the PS Melbourne which was lost. This first Ruby was later rigged to sail to New Zealand and was eventually wrecked there. The Ruby in this photo was built in 1876 for Elliot Randell of Echuca/Moama and is what I call Ruby No. 2. Ruby No. 3 (Little Ruby) was built in 1894 and Ruby No. 4 (still in existence at Wentworth) was built in 1907 to replace Ruby No. 2.'

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.

P.S. Viola at river bank possibly in Renmark region
Side view of 'P.S. Viola' at river bank, with water reflections, possibly in Renmark region. It was built up on the barge 'Advance' by William Conner (Senior) who was a fisherman in the Swan Reach area. When it was sold to Bourke, it was renamed 'Advance' and worked the Darling for a number years using the barge 'Retreat'. Around 1910 it was was purchased by Alec Conner, used for a while on the Darling and then brought back to the Murray where he transported cargo for Permewan Wright between Mildura and Wentworth. Alec changed the name back to 'Viola' and around 1930 it was sold to William Wilson, a fisherman on the Murrumbidgee River. Whilst moored at Coonoon Station, about 82 miles below Hay, the crew departed the scene with a station employee for drinks, the duration of their absence extending to a number of days. When they returned the river had fallen and the Viola was marooned on the bank, at a very embarrassing angle. It was never refloated and remains at the same location [information supplied by a researcher] [see also PRG 1258/1/3895].

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)'.
