Sydney ferry CURL CURL leaving Manly 1930s

Sydney ferry CURL CURL leaving Manly 1930s. As built, the built up sections of CURL CURL's bow were not extended far back and did not keep the boats dry. Initially, white canvas dodgers were lashed behind the promenade deck railing. Circa 1930, the bulwarks were lengthened by extending the bow plating further back. They were extended again circa 1935 by replacing the promenade deck guardrails with further bulwark plating. This photo is after the initial extension, but prior to the second extension.
