Built in 1922 at Morts Dock, Balmain Sydney, the Baragoola served the Sydney Circulay Quay to Manly route for over 60 years. She now lies abandoned on the northern side of Sydney Harbour, and is the last Sydney built Manly ferry still afloat. The only old Manly ferry to be preseved, the Souuth Steyne, was built in Scotland 16 years later and had a much shorter life in service. An irreplaceable piece of Sydney's heritage will soon be lost.

  • Awesome. Great to see it again, what great memories! How long will it last like this? What condition is it like on the inside?

  • The superstructure is in good condition. The seats appear to have been removed. The hull needs quite a lot of TLC because the ship has not been out of the water for so many years.

  • The Ol Gal deserves to be restored and ppeserved as part of Sydney's herritage, It may have been taken out of service 3 years before my time but we've got to save some of sydney's iconic herritage, Would Sydney be Sydney without the Bridge or the Opera house and would Circular quay be circular quay without the Ferries?

  • So great to see!

  • there is actually a restoration crew workimg on the barragoola, so technically she is not abandoned

  • was fun in rough weather lol

  • @tproduction1 so do you. Wood's a bit hard to melt of course. ( so the ferry and your head would survive )

  • deserves to be melted down

  • What a shame they don't make them like that any more.

  • What are they going to do with this ferry?

  • Nice lines!

  • What the hell is the National Maratine Museam doing not saving this ferry

    Why I ask Why
