1882 Manly ferry- PS Brighton

A beautiful collection of radio-controlled models of some of Sydney's Manly ferry fleet from over the years.

 

PS Brighton was almost as big as the much later South Steyne.

Built in Scotland and launched in 1882, it sailed to Sydney via the Cape of Good Hope, in a dramatic 89 day voyage, surviving many storms, and arriving in Sydney with much damage. She served the Sydney to Manly route for 32 years, and her hulk can today be found in Port Stephens NSW.
