PS Marion paddle-steamer

Created by Percival Moody in 1940.

Use for any purpose requires written permission from Mr Bill Moody and the State Library of South Australia.

People enjoy a cruise along the River Murray aboard the PS Marion. Includes stopping for wood to feed the boilers of the boat, scenes of trees along the river bank and negotiating one of the many locks en route.

The PS Marion was launched in February 1897 and during her life has gone from a working steamer to a passenger boat.

Take note of the river levels back then. It has come full circle. Expect a flood between now and 2012.
