Talk:Washington (steamboat 1851)

Alex. S. Murray in Australia
Alexander Sinclair Murray (born in Scotland 26 November 1927; died in Sydney 26 November 1914) and Peleg Whitford Jackson were Americans who built three stern-wheel paddle steamers from selected Oregon pine for the River Murray: Settler 1861, Lady Daly 1862 and Lady Darling 1864. They ran an extensive shipping agency operating on the Murray, the east coast of Australia and to New Zealand. Their partnership was dissolved in 1869.

Alex S. Murray later ran excursion trips on the Hawkesbury River in his steamboat General Gordon. He died at his home in Sydney, Australia. Doug butler (talk) 04:49, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
