  • MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA
    MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA Tony Prescott and Ross Willson This article originally appeared in The Log, vol. 12, no. 3 New Series (25 August 1979), pp. 78-85 It has been edited for digital publication on 27 December 2007. © The authors 2007. Drawings © Peter Nicolson 1970. Baragoola in the 1980s, in her final years as a government-operated ferry. (Tony Prescott) INTRODUCTION The popular image of the Manly ferry during the present century has very much evolved around the "class" (to use a naval term loosely) of six very similar double-ended screw steamers built for the Port Jackson Co-operative Steamship Co. Ltd. and the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Co. Ltd. between 1905 and 1922. These six steamers were to be eclipsed in size, speed, accommodation and glamour by the Scottish-built Dee Why and Curl Curl of 1928 (The Log, May 1977) and South Steyne of 1938 (The Log, August 1983, November 1983). However, the smaller boats were to prove more economically practical in the long-term and two of them, both to be described in this article, are still in service while the Scottish boats have been withdrawn. Up to the early years of this century, the Port Jackson company operated a fleet consisting almost entirely of paddle steamers. The reason for the relatively late transition to screw propulsion lay in the necessity of using double-ended ships due to the configuration of Sydney Harbour with its many coves and the difficulties of turning in the Circular Quay terminus. Smaller double-ended ferries had been found to operate quite successfully with screw propulsion, but the Manly service had speed and heavy weather requirements which necessitated fine bows on the ships.

  • Baragoola 7Th May 2011
    Baragoola 7th May 2011 In attendance: Nick, Lance, Peter C, Geoff E, Glen, Ernie, Glen, Chris & Gary + Peter H earlier in the week Visitors: Three This week we gathered donations of $100 and managed outlays of $659 (new boat trailer and some bronze) – so a week that we managed to go backwards in – we’ve also got boat registration this week as well and public liability insurance due so reasonable expenses to cover off. So keep those (tax deductible donations) coming in! We’re in the middle of doing a re-jig of the web sites – the main site will shortly be moving to www.baragoola.com.au and the old one (www.savethebaragoola.com) will remain only for the discussion boards. A redirect will be placed at the top level of this to move people to the new site. As well, the baragoola.asn.au site that is currently used for work updates will be folded in to the main site, have its public access removed and in future will only be used as a document repository for the Association. The move to the .com.au site is aligned with our long term plans for Baragoola now that Goola is “saved” and renders the “savetheb” site somewhat redundant. Also, the blog site is attracting more hits than the main site, is behind the main site in updates and is starting to get rather untidy and very, very long and meandering and is not a good reflection of the public persona we wish to project. So watch out for those changes soon.

We did however receive a donation of a new portable air compressor which was put into service pretty much immediately. Don’t forget that all donations over $2 are tax deductible – why not do what some of our donors have and set up an automatic payment once a week, fortnight or month ? Last week we had outgoings of $0 and we made $90. We are still chasing our target of $63,200 and have already raised $35,826 so please keep those tax deductible donations rolling in! Even more important with our auditors bill (around $1500) due soon – these sorts of things take a huge bite out of our available finances. This time last year we ran a series of very successful charity auctions on eBay raising several thousand dollars for the boat thanks to the generosity of our members. So, a year later we are going to do it again. Can you help with our fundraising efforts by donating items that you no longer need? We will take any item – old furniture, knick knacks, electrical and consumer goods, old computer equipment (especially form the early to mid eighties), books, tapes & DVD’s – in fact anything you’ve got laying around causing clutter and can spare us. Contact [email protected] We are also urgently looking for more volunteers with some specific skills – in particular welders and woodworkers, so if you know of anyone who can help out give them an invite.

Established on 1 January 2004 by the Transport Administration Act 1988, the Office is responsible for determining the causes and contributing factors of accidents and to make recommendations for the implementation of remedial safety action to prevent recurrence. OTSI investigations are conducted under powers conferred by the Rail Safety Act 2002 and the Passenger Transport Act 1990. OTSI investigators normally seek to obtain information cooperatively when conducting an accident investigation. However, where it is necessary to do so, OTSI investigators may exercise statutory powers to interview persons, enter premises and examine and retain physical and documentary evidence. Where OTSI investigators exercise their powers of compulsion, information so obtained cannot be used by other agencies in any subsequent civil or criminal action against those persons providing information. OTSI investigation reports are submitted to the Minister for Transport for tabling in both Houses of Parliament. Following tabling, OTSI reports are published on its website www.otsi.nsw.gov.au .
