Description
Narrabeen And Lady Herron Sydney Ferries .
Narrabeen is one of four Freshwater class ferries that operate the Manly ferry service between Circular Quay and Manly on Sydney Harbour. The ferry is owned by the Government of New South Wales and operated by Harbour City Ferries. It is named after Narrabeen Beach on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
Lady Herron was the last of the Lady class vessels to be built, she is an identical sister to Lady Street, also launched in the same year (but now withdrawn from service and scrapped). Her launch date was the 23rd of August, 1979.
Lady Herron is no stranger to accidents. On the 23rd of July 2003 she ran aground on Shark Island during one of her harbour cruises. Fortunately damage was light. In February of the following year she was not so lucky when she continued the long standing tradition of running into wharves. While under the command of a recertifying master she took a swipe at Circular Quay No. 5 Wharf and did considerable damage to both the wharf and herself. Damage to the wharf was estimated at $98,000 whilst damage to the ferry ran to $80,000 and required her to be withdrawn from service for repairs.
