MV Lady Denman, Museum ferry at Jervis Bay Maritime Museum, Australia.

The 33.7-meter wooden vessel features two passenger decks, two wheelhouses, and a single propeller system that reduced stress on its hull structure.

Built in 1912 for the Balmain New Ferry Company, the MV Lady Denman transported passengers across Sydney Harbour until its retirement in 1979.

The ferry contained separate sections for different social groups, including specific areas for men, women, and high-status passengers until the 1950s.

The Maritime Museum maintains the vessel in a static display configuration, allowing visitors to explore its structure and learn about its operational history.

The vessel returned to Huskisson, its construction site, through a volunteer effort led by Dick Young and John Hatton after completing 67 years of service.
