Summary

[General description] Side view of 'P.S. Lady Daly' raising 'S.W. Settler', at Settlers Bend, near Renmark. Both are sternwheelers. The "Settler' owned by P.W. Jackson and Alexander Murray, was built at Fletcher's Slip at Port Adelaide. At 167 feet long including the wheel, she proved far too long to negotiate the many twists of the upper river. After just one season she was taken off the rivers. 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. Godson, June 1966'
