SS South Steyne, Heritage steam ferry in Sydney Harbour, Australia.

The SS South Steyne measures 224 feet in length and features Art Deco elements including veneered timber paneling, brass fittings, and a marble bar.

Constructed by Henry Robb Ltd and launched in 1938, this steam-powered vessel completed over 100,000 crossings between Circular Quay and Manly until 1974.

This vessel transported more than 92 million passengers during its 36-year service period, connecting Sydney residents with Manly Beach and other coastal destinations.

The vessel currently resides at Berrys Bay, where maintenance work continues while plans for future public access are developed by maritime preservation organizations.

Built by the same company that constructed the Titanic, the SS South Steyne holds the distinction of being the largest operational steam ferry in existence.
