Summary

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)'.
