Woy Woy was one of the fleet of vessels used by the Port Jackson
company that was primarily used as a cargo vessel. It appears that she
was owned by one Charles Stephenson and leased to the company. However,
she was fitted with passenger accomodation and used for a time as an
excursion vessel.
She possibly ran a limited passenger service from Balmoral to Manly.
She was sold to Brisbane interests in 1910 and was used for some time
in that city in her cargo carrying capacity. Her eventual fate is not
known.
