This is a picture of my lovely old ferry "as found" in about 1974. The after part of the hull had been crudely decked over, for use I was told, as a Scotland Island goods barge. I have always wanted to discover something of its origin, even the name would be nice. Is there any chance,anyone could help with a bit of marine history? It had a Thornycroft engine and a massive bronze rudder. The shaft was supported by a cast bronze A frame. Dimensions were, I think, 30' x 6'6", with a round bilge, the hull was planked with teak on spotted gum ribs. I should add that I did an enormous amount of work making a complete new foredeck, planked in beech, paid with oakum and filled with pitch, followed by jacking up the cabin structure and preparing new supporting knees. After some engine work I discovered that the thing had been left empty of (salt) cooling water for too long and the cylinder head gradually developed a mass of irreparable cracks as the impregnated salt crystals formed and expanded. Formation of a new business taking precedence about then, I sold it.
