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.

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!

As I get older, some-times, just some-times, something near to home sparks wonderous child-hood memories !
Seeing this modernised ferry boat on the River as the sun set, a whole host of memories, including long lost and forgotten child-hood friends, came flooding back !
I guess that in that sense, I haven't forgotten them, just forgot to think about them !
This will serve as a fine reminder for me !
For those who may have interest in one of the " Ferry 'Cross The Mersey " ~

This bright pink ferry shelter is situated by the river at Warsash.
The ferry itself is based at Hamble on the opposite side of the river and operates between Warsash and Hamble The pilot also keeps an eye out and when he sees passengers near the pink shelter, comes to ferry them across the river.
The shelter is photogenic but not too practical, a look inside revealed a dark interior with nowhere to sit and heaps of pebbles washed in by high tide.
It's not certain when the ferry began plying its trade but local research has dated it back to at least 1493.
The ferry has always carried a maximum of 12 passengers who were originally taken across the river by a ferryman in a small rowing boat (sometimes with their horse swimming along behind!)
Today a one-way trip costs £2.50 per adult.
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 is the ferry dock at Orcas Island. It isn't really near any main settlement - the largest town on the island is Eastsound and this is a good 10 miles from this spot. Realistically the best way of getting around the island is by private car

The Corran ferry only takes minutes to make the crossing from The Fort William to Ardnamurchan side. My wife thought it must be a boring and repetitive job for the ferryman and as he passed her window asked him how many times they make the crossing each day. The answer worked out at about 64 crossings a day. Which makes it a pretty essential link for people like us who have the alternative choice to go the long way round via Lochailort and Glenfinnan. If you are in the Lighthouse Brigade, a job at Ardgour lighthouse is probably a cushy number. It's not really even near the sea and there aren't that many stairs to climb, and no foghorn to disturb your sleep, and you get to work from home!
A windy day at the beach as a ro-ro cargo ship cuts through the waves of river Westerschelde towards open sea. HFF :)
Launched in 1946, MV Abegweit provided passenger ferry service across Canada's Northumberland Strait from 1947-1982. In 1983 the ship was purchased by the Columbia Yacht Club and moved to Chicago, where it serves as the clubhouse for the CYC.

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.
… on a blustery day - those clouds moved across the scene very quickly! Broughty Ferry is just north along the coast from Dundee.
Day two of our trip to Scotland ended with us taking the ferry across Loch Linnhe to Ardgour. The Inn was just across the Ferry terminal so I got a good view of the comings and goings.
