The Alexander Arbuthnot was the last steamer built on the Murray during the riverboat trade and was used as a logging boat for some years until she was sold to charcoal producers in the Barmah Forest. During WW2 the 'A.A.' lay idle and sank at her moorings in 1947. She was raised in 1972 by a group of Shepparton volunteers. The 'A.A.' was bought by the City of Echuca in 1989 for restoration at the Port of Echuca.
