Arrival of SS Fairlight [possibly PS Brighton] of Manly

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

• John Cowper said:

  Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons I have a feeling that this, is in fact, the PS Brighton. The Fairlight had only one funnel, the Brighton had two. Here is a pic of the Brighton arriving at Manly Wharf.

• Andy Brill said:

  Some details and first cruise in 1883 of the PS Brighton in the Firth of Clyde: from trove: trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91148661 and the PS Brighton at Manly from Powerhouse Museum:

  The ferry is, I believe, the Manly II, launched 1896, disposed of in 1924.
  Capacity 820 passengers - 45 m x 8 m 229 gross tons, nett tonnage 139 tons. (Ref 'The Ferries of Sydney' Graeme Andrews and www.shf.org.au/archives-research/photographic-collections...
  
  
  
  When Manly ( a screw ship) arrived she joined the Fairlight, Brighton and Narrabeen (all paddle steamers. Manly was the fastest and set a record time for the run of 22 minutes, which has apparently never been beaten by any conventional ferry.
