Summary

[General description] River Steamer 'Marion' at mooring, built by Milang shipbuilder A.H. Landseer in 1896, first floated 1897. She had many changes to her superstructure over the years as her function changed. This photo was probably taken after Ben Chaffey of Renmark bought her (in 1908) and converted her into a passenger and cargo boat. There is a group of men in suits standing on both upper decks and there seems to be work in progress on the lower deck. The 'Marion' is still plying the River Murray today (2017) having been restored by volunteers.
