“The Paddle Steamer Gem was launched in Moama, NSW on 17 June 1876. The vessel is of composite build: red gum planking over iron frames and was built for the Echuca shipowner Elliot Randell by the firm of Air & Westergaard. Gem was able to keep trading right up until the end of the steam boat era on the Murray in the early 1950s. The vessel, minus its steam engine which had been scrapped then served as a floating residence and boarding house at Mildura until 1962 when it was purchased by the Borough of Swan Hill for use as a floating art gallery and focal point of Australia’s first outdoor folk museum. The impetus for this came from Eric Westbrook, the director of the National Gallery of Victoria. The engineless Gem was towed to Swan Hill where it has floated in its own pool since 1963 serving for most of that time as an art gallery and restaurant. In recent years it has been undergoing a complete restoration/refit which has involved the removal of all the art gallery and restaurant fittings.”
