SS ZEPHYR possibly on Swan River, Western Australia

    There are a lot of online photos of SS Zephyr at the State Library of Western Australia. I have found many newspaper references on the Trove website as well. Zephyr operated on the Swan River well into the late 1930s it would seem. As well as operating as an excursion ferry on the Swan, it also made regular trips to Rottnest Island. Remarkably in February 1908 there is a detailed account of an ocean excursion from Perth to Rockingham, which is some 45 km south of Perth on the coast trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/77335752

    Nev Thanks for the links & info! We've added it all to our collection records :)

    The SS Zephyr operated regularly to Rottenest Island and later Garden Island until the 1960's. It eventually sank or was scuttled in the mouth of the Canning River. Rowan Holgate

    SS Zephyr was built in Brisbane and eventually steamed to Fremantle.

    Rowan Holgate Thanks Rowan - by any chance did you have a connection with the vessel? If so, it would good to follow-up with you. You can email web@anmm.gov.au if you'd like to pass on any other information directly. We love hearing about personal stories.

    The detail in these photos in the original size is just amazing! Thanks for scanning and giving us access to our history and making research possible. Too many museums and libraries only provide very low resolution copies and want us to buy the high resolution versions for research purposes even though the copyright expired long ago.

    Mangrove RatHi Mangrove Rat, long time no see! Thanks for your comments, we are glad to share these historical photographs and we endeavour to provide higher res copies wherever possible, to enhance user experience and input. :-)

    The Manly boat (obscured) on the left is Baragoola, the other is Balgowlah
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    MV Baragoola Wow, how were you able to see that? Great spotting. :-)
  • MV Baragoola said:
    Baragoola is the only one that has a round dodger - makes her very easy to recognise.
