Ferries, Tugs and Harbourcraft

The Davidson girls liked photographing and travelling on Manly ferries and they are well illustrated here. They had little interest in the inner harbour ferries but they liked photographing tugs and wharf and foreshore scenes. Few Sydneysiders will remember Sydney trams, The Corso at Manly, the old tram shed on Bennelong Point (much better looking than folklore has it), even the Tarpiean Way.
