'MANLY'
I have never seen, nor appreciated, the colours of Manly Cove, especially to the east of Manly Wharf where the depth is quite shallow, and the sea grasses are aplenty... I suppose these become apparent from the air - DJI AIR3
MV 'Freshwater' was the star of the morning on both approach, docked and then departing Manly Wharf. Freshwater is the lead ship of the four Freshwater-class ferries. It is named after Freshwater Beach on Sydney's Northern Beaches. It was launched on 27 March 1982 by Olive Cox and commissioned by her husband, Minister for Transport Peter Cox, on 18 December 1982.
The three-month old ferry ran aground at Manly Cove in March 1983 after overshooting the wharf following a computer failure. On 30 March 1985, Freshwater was hijacked by a man who threatened to shoot passengers unless the captain piloted the ferry beyond Sydney Heads into the ocean. The hijacker was subdued after a police officer boarded the vessel and fired three warning shots. It turned out that the man, a New Zealander, had not been carrying a gun, but an empty vodka bottle (the second of two that he had consumed before boarding the vessel) had been concealed under his jacket. After a short jail sentence, the man returned to New Zealand in January 1986 by stowing away on the Oriana, for which he was also fined.
While there were plans to retire the ship by 2021, a decision was eventually made to keep Freshwater and Collaroy operating, with Queenscliff and Narrabeen to be retired.
However, following the 2023 New South Wales state election, the current plan is to maintain Freshwater, Collaroy and Narrabeen in full-time service. Freshwater is expected to be in service until at least 2030.
