Crowded steam ferry KULGOA on Sydney Harbour, 1905-1930

  Great Moments in OH&S ! The 'Kulgoa' was built in 1905, 42.6 metres, 1255 passengers (preferably not all on one side!). (ref. Graeme Andrews - 'Pictorial History of Ferries', Reed,1982). From the ladies' frocks and hats, I would say pre WW1.

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia OH&S indeed! Thank you for that information beachcomberaustralia, our records have been updated.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Full details of the 'Kulgoa' when new - Australian Town and Country Journal 18/01/1905 p.39, col.4 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/5711140 . Including this -

  " The Kulgoa's moulded beam is 3ft 6in more than the Koree ... ... This will be found a considerable advantage when carrying large numbers of passengers, more particularly when the passengers get on one side [ ! ]. The resistance being so much greater, the vessel will not heel over, as is the case with other steamers. "

  beachcomber australia Thanks beachcomberaustralia. A fascinating article that seems to add colour and historical context to this photograph!

• Nev said:

  Camp Cove, Watsons Bay?

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Could be! Hard to find an image of that spot to confirm... But will post one if we come across it :)

• beachcomber australia said:

  Done! - Earlier (no house next door with the two side chimneys) - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au//item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=414284 Later/contemporary (both houses present) - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au//item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=413299 I wonder why everyone is crowded into the front yard.

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Thanks! I had a quick look yesterday with no luck - these pics are perfect. That front yard makes a pretty perfect spectator stand :)
