PS Marion

Uploaded by mt14l on Oct 15, 2006
The PS Marion is one of three wood fired padde steamers running on the Murray River in South Australia.
The other two boats, the Industry and the Oscar W, were work boats rather than passenger cruisers.
The Marion is the last steam passenger cruiser on the river.
This video was filmed during the 50th anniversary show for the 1956 floods at Mannum.

I enjoyed this footage, she is so like the paddle steamer Ruby her old sister steam boat. Will have some video of her on YouTube in a week or two.

Just posted "Gem on the Murray" on you tube.
Photographs taken by my father who was part of the crew in 1962.

Thanks, Will try harder to highlight the boring-ness of Mannum next time!

What an AWESOME love notion!!! Here in Switzerland there are also plenty of steampowered sidewheelers. But I like this boat. It's very ... ... ...rustical. Is it wooden-made, or just burns wood? THANKS, in name of those who love the steamboats, for your video.

Thanks for the comments - it is made of wood,and burns wood. Has a small stationary engine fitted into the hold to provide thrust

maybe one day, (if there's enough water in the river) we might all be lucky enough to see the Marion, Ruby and maybe even the Gem from swan hill all together in one spot on the river just like in the early 1900's.

Nice to see 'Marion' in steam ... it looked rather abandoned and forlorn last time I visited.

Yes it it - its a beautiful boat, and a credit to those who restored her, and keep her operational
