PS Cannally

Paddle-steamer first launched 120 years ago returns to working life

Historic paddle-steamer PS Canally returns to working life with love from volunteers Mon 1 Jun 2026 at 2:38pm In short: The PS Cannally paddle-steamer has hosted its first public cruises at the Living River Festival in Morgan. The boat was built in 1907 and moored in Victoria in the 1950s, where it sank due to inattention. A group of volunteers raised the boat in 1998, and it took 15 years, 4,500 volunteer hours and $1.5 million to restore it.
