Car ferry å…´ä¿¡ (Xing Xin) crossing the Yangzi River towards Chongming Island. These Ferries are quite slow, about 20 km/h (11 knots) only.
Click here to see a high speed ferry on the same route.
Taken while doing a dead cheap 2-hour Yangzi River cruise using one of these slow ferries (total cost, ferry only: 24 CNY, about 3 EUR or 3.50 USD) with the purpose to take some ship photos on the way.

Former Manly Ferry, 'The Baragoola', now derelict and moored at 'The Coal Loader'. Ball's Head Bay, Sydney harbour.
The ferry has been waiting many years now now for its restoration. It was built in 1922!! Here is some information about the history of this grand ferry:

Photographed just before sunset at the historic 'Coal Loader' facility at Ball's Head Bay, Waverton, in Sydney.
Friday evening, 22nd January, 2021.
In the distance you can see Balmain, and in the far distance you can see the Anzac Bridge, first opened to traffic on Monday, 4th December, 1995.
For information about Sydney's amazing 'Coal Loader' facility, a former coal loading plant, built in 1918, and now transformed into 'The Coal Loader Centre For Sustainability', please see:

Australia's famous poet, Henry Lawson, actually wrote a poem in 1916, in which he protested against the building of the Coal Loader, saying that it would destroy the natural bushland environment of Ball's Head.
As such, this poem was one of the world's first environmental protests. Henry Lawson was well ahead of his time. And if you have time, read his poem entitled 'The Sacrifice of Ball's Head' (1916).
Greenpeace could use this guy today, and Greta Thunberg would love his ideas!

The best way to get around the inner Sydney suburbs is via ferry. My recollection is that this was the ferry to Manly, a beautiful beachside suburb on the North Harbour. On this particular day in 2012 we were headed via ferry to the famous Sydney Zoo.

This seemed like an appropriate image on which to end the year, as we leave the twenty-teens and head for the twenty-twenties.
I hope you have a great year in 2020!

So it's the 'Freshwater' - the pride of Sydney's ferry fleet.
This is the biggest ferry on Sydney harbour.
Zoom in to see all the ferry and city details. You can see the wharves at Walsh Bay, the waterfront parkland at Barangaroo, and all the way around past the Crown Casino Tower to the W Hotel at Darling Harbour.
In this photo the 'Freshwater' is returning home to its base in Mort Bay at Balmain, after working all day on the hectic Sydney to Manly ferry route.
Photographed just three days ago at sunset.

This sky pretty much something up the weather for the two weeks of our vacation. Lots of dark wet clouds with a fair bit of sun thrown in.

The cable ferry is a phenomenon that you still regularly encounter in our river country. A cable ferry is a fine example of the ingenuity of the former inhabitants.
If a river flows fast enough, you can ensure that the current pulls the boat to the other side. It is somewhat comparable to a kite with two strings that you can control. The cable ferry is recognizable by the cable to which it is attached, which is secured with an anchor in the middle of the river. Often, there are a few small boats to guide the cable.
A Caledonian MacBrayne car ferry connects the island with Largs, Ayrshire on the Scottish mainland. Millport pier dates from 1833 and that at Largs from 1845. Renovations to Largs pier in 2008, costing £6m, required the ferry to berth overnight at Fairlie.
Millport was served by Clyde steamers until the 1960s. Largs is now a regular calling point for PS Waverley. For nearly 20 years from 1967, passenger ferry, MV Keppel crossed to Millport pier. In early April 1977, car ferry MV Isle of Cumbrae took up the crossing to Cumbrae Slip and continued until the sisters MV Loch Striven and MV Loch Linnhe arrived in the summer of 1986. A new ferry, MV Loch Shira, built at Ferguson Shipbuilders in Port Glasgow, entered service on 2 June 2007. At peak times, she is partnered by one of the original Loch class vessels.
