Manly Ferry History

It's good to see that Anthony Prescott's classic work, The Manly Ferry: A history of the service and its operators, 1854-1974 is now available online, through the University of Sydney Library's Sydney eScholarship Repository. Mr Precott's work, originally presented as an MA thesis, is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and development of the Manly ferry service. It has long been available only under reference conditions in Manly Library and one or two other places, so to have it now freely available to researchers everywhere is a great help. The work is presented as 5 Adobe PDF files, some of which are between 3-8 MB in size, so not every pc will cope with the size of the files. The link is http://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/1557
