Some of the eventful history (and photos) of the SS Moruya: From flotilla-australia www.flotilla-australia.com/3hsmith.htm MORUYA (1906-1949) 525 gross tons, 283 net. Lbd: 150'7" x 25'6" x 15'1". Steel twin screw steamship built by the Caledonian Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Preston for the Illawarra & South Coast S N Co. Held a twin compounded engine producing 250 ihp. Built for their passenger trade but during her delivery voyage she was beached at Port Albert off the Gippsland coastline, Victoria on February 16th, 1907. Sustained bottom damage, repaired and placed on the Clyde River run until 1912 when sold to the Commonwealth Government, and renamed Stuart. They operated her out of Darwin, Northern Territory, in what capacity remains unknown, however she was found too costly to run and sold in 1913 to Australian Steamships Pty Ltd (Howard Smith). She was renamed back to Moruya and employed along Queensland coast. Her run extended to Gladstone in 1914. Sold to Cam & Son, Sydney in 1936 who in turn sold her in 1938 to Mollers Towage, Shanghai. Renamed Jessie Moller, she was captured by the Japanese in December 1941, only to be returned to owners at the end of hostilities. 1949 was abandoned to her underwriters after suffering severe damage.

The verandah is still there but there is an addition on the back, however the ground floor looks as if there has been quite a bit of renovation. Its good to see the original & how the structure looks now. Thanks brett.

Hi Brettm8 and dunedoo, thanks for the comment and the recent photo of the hotel. Although it has had some comestic changes I'm sure the beer is just as good as it was in 1926!

I remember as a small child being chased by a ram at my grandfather's camp site in Moruya heads, back in the 1950s.

Great historical photo! Ideally located granite quarry. Well-established production of stone parts and accessibility to transportation by river steamers...

I am surprised at how well you could take panoramic pictures back then.
