The '''PS ''Etona''''' is a privately-owned side-wheeler [[paddle steamer]] launched on the [[Murray River]] in 1898. |
|||
==History== |
|||
===1890s=== |
|||
''Etona'' was launched as a mission steamer, with the intention of operating regular trips between [[Morgan, South Australia|Morgan]] or [[Mannum]] and [[Renmark, South Australia|Renmark]]. While the forepart of the vessel was used a saloon, the cabin was a small saloon. The minister onboard doubled as a captain.<ref name="Plowman" /> On August 16 1898, ''Etona'' arrived at [[Renmark, South Australia|Renmark]]; the Rev Dr Harmer held services on board the following Sunday with the assistance of Rev H M Wylie.<ref>{{cite web |title=Country News |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/162327969/18997458 |website=Adelaide Observer |access-date=1 August 2022 |page=22 |date=20 August 1898}}</ref> In September of the same year, the service due in [[Holder, South Australia|Holder]] on the 18th was suspended due to the vessel grounding on a sandbank.<ref>{{cite web |title=Country News |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/162329511?searchTerm=steam%20etona |website=Adelaide Observer |access-date=1 August 2022 |page=10 |date=10 September 1898}}</ref> During its year of launch, the boiler of ''Etona'' gave way, being replaced at a cost of £87.<ref>{{cite news |title=New South Wales Elections |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/146810147?searchTerm=steam%20etona# |access-date=1 August 2022 |work=Narracoorte Herald |agency=Trove |date=2 August 1898}}</ref> |
