Over 60 shipwrecks, a lighthouse, 12 wharves, 24 jetties, a morgue and 16 surviving historic vessels are just some of the sites and places identified in the River Boat Trail. Eleven interpretive signs have been positioned in towns along the Murray, and together with the published booklet provide information about historic sites in each region.
