''P.S. Pevensey'' is an authentic paddle steamer, with its original steam engine, in the fleet of paddle steamers at Echuca Wharf.〔 ''Pevensey'' starred in the role as the fictional ''PS Philadelphia'' in the Australian television mini-series ''All the Rivers Run'', made in Echuca in 1982-1983. The ''PS Emmylou'', also based at Echuca, starred as the ''PS Providence'' in the series. ==History== ''PS Pevensey'' is named after a sheep property on the Murrumbidgee River called Pevensey Station.〔 The paddle steamer was built at the Moama slipway in 1911 by Permewan Wright & Co. Ltd. ''Pevensey'' collected bales of wool from sheep stations and brought them to the Echuca wharf. From the wharf, it was loaded onto trains and taken to Melbourne for export overseas. ''Pevensey'' could carry 815 bales of wool and a total of 2000 bales when barges were towed along behind. ''Pevensey''’s barge was called ''Ada''.〔 After the river trade ended, ''Pevensey'' was tied up at Mildura. It later was towed to Echuca to be restored in 1973. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PS Pevensey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
