Summary

Side view of 'P.S. Ranger' with crewman pouring a drink while another stands at the bow, with stand of gum trees in background. According to a researcher, the fishing punt in this photo is submerged therefore in use, keeping the already caught fish alive prior to sending them off to market. PS Ranger was one of the Conner family's fishing fleet, based out of Boundary Bend (VIC), but sometimes travelling farther afield for their job of catching fish.
