Lady Chelmsford
Lady Chelmsford and her four sisters survived the 1932 opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and were converted to diesel power that decade.From 1900, the Balmain New Ferry Company began a period of expansion to keep up and compete with the tram network that was expanding into what is now referred to as Sydney's Inner West.Launched on 14 April 1910, the new ferry was towed to Sydney where Morrison and Sinclair of White Bay, Balmain, fitted her boiler and a compound engine, and built her superstructure.The five were relatively small and had a veed shape and shallow draft to navigate the muddy and silted upper reaches of their upstream runs.In common with most Sydney Harbour ferries at the time, Lady Chelmsford and her four sisters were wooden double-ended screw steamers.Lady Scott was launched on 4 November at Huskisson and christened by Miss Roderick, daughter of one of the Directors of the Balmain New Ferry Co.[6] The vessel was towed to Sydney to receive her machinery supplied by McKie & Baxter of Glasgow.Their routes were expanded to all inner-harbour (ie, non-Manly) services including Taronga Park Zoo, Milsons Point, Cremorne and Hunters Hill.[12] On 11 November 1950, Lady Chelmsford operated the last Lane Cove River ferry service, departing Circular Quay at 6:30 pm with 70 passengers on board for Longueville.[19] She served in this role there until being replaced by a purpose-built vessel in 1985, and Lady Chelmsford was sold again to Bill Leahy for use as a cursing restaurant in Melbourne.[20] On 6 December 2002, Lady Chelmsford was involved in a collision with the moored cabin cruiser Rob Roy, resulting in minor damage to both ships but no injuries.Lady Ferguson was towed to Hobart with Kosciusko in 1975 to assist following the collapse of the Tasman Bridge, however, she was found to be in too poor condition and was scrapped.
