About our site

In 1788, European settlement in Australia began on the shores of Port Jackson, described as "the finest natural harbour in the world". Early settlement grew around the harbour & quickly stretched up the Parramatta River, over to the North Sore & to Manly. The only realistic way to travel around was by boat. Within a year of colonisation, Sydney's first ferry was built & launched.

In the 230 years since, more than 500 ferries have serviced the harbour & it's adjoining rivers & coves, this site is a showcase of those ferries, the people that built them & the men & women that have operated them.

You can check out the individual ferries under the "Articles" option on the menu bar.
