Sydney’s beloved Manly ferry Collaroy, a historic double-ended icon that carried the Olympic torch and served nearly four decades, is set to be dismantled by year’s end after repair costs soared past $17 million. While its three sister ships get refurbished, Collaroy’s unique build made revival too expensive. Though scuttling was considered, environmental and technical hurdles killed the idea. Meanwhile, the Freshwater sister ship heads to Yamba for dry-dock under a $71 million overhaul plan — echoing the fate of seven RiverCat ferries recently retired. Fans mourn the loss of a maritime legend, its distinctive silhouette and ocean-ready design irreplaceable on Sydney’s harbor.
