The former steam powered ferry South Steyne which ran on the Circular Quay to Manly route, and which is now a floating restaurant. Built in Scotland in 1938, she made her way under her own power to Australia before commencing service as a ferry. Her ferrying days ended in 1974 when she caught fire at her berth in Balmain. At 70 metres she's fractionally larger than the largest ferries on the Manly route today, the Freshwater class (69.54 metres).
And some of her woodwork on her superstructure could do with a coat of varnish. (It's probably hard to see in this image (though you can probably see what I'm talking about if you look straight above her name), but it's painfully visible in the raw one.)
