Meet the Maker
Lost Manly was founded by Lisa Lipman, a fourth-generation Manly (Freshwater /Harbord) local now living in Norway, yet always with the dream of 'coming home' to where she was born and bred. It was this very longing that birthed Lost Manly and resonates with so many others. As a lifelong genealogist and Local History enthusiast, Lisa needed a place to share and connect with others with their roots firmly planted on the Northern Beaches. This is what Lost Manly Northern Beaches is all about. The merchandise offered on the website is an overflow of this life's work of promoting our local cultural history and heritage.
Lisa's work blends art, history, and storytelling — inspired by her family’s roots on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and her ancestor's journey's from across the seas, which can be read about in her history blog 'They Came by Sea' and 'It Started in My Mother's Kitchen'. Her great-grandfather’s journey from Norway to Freshwater in 1901. Her convict ancestors from Ireland, England and Scotland who, generation by generation made it Manly, and her European Jewry who found safe passage in our land flowing with milk and honey.
Every design tells a story and captures a moment in time — a ferry crossing, a beach scene, a familiar street — reminding us that while Manly has changed, its heart and it's people remain the same.

The Sydney hydrofoils were a series of hydrofoils operated by Port Jackson & Manly Steamship Company and its successors on the ferry service from Circular Quay to Manly. The hydrofoils covered the 10-kilometre (6 mi) journey from Circular Quay to Manly in 15 minutes compared to 35 minutes for conventional ferries. By the mid-1960s, patronage on the Port Jackson & Manly Steamship Company's formerly lucrative Circular Quay to Manly service was declining. The company introduced a hydrofoil service halving the travelling time from 30 to 15 minutes but at a premium fare.
Introduced in 1965, the first hyrdofoil was a 75-seat PT20 from Hitachi, Kanagawa named Manly.[1][2][3][4] Despite early troubles with harbour debris, she proved to be a success and three larger hydrofoils were ordered from Italy through leasing arrangements.[5]
The first of the three was a 140-seat Rodriguez PT50 hydrofoil, Fairlight, built by Cantiere navale di Ancona, Ancona and entered service in 1966. It would be joined by the Dee Why in 1970 and Curl Curl in 1973. These were joined by the Palm Beach purchased second hand from Macau in 1975 and the Long Reef from Italy in 1978.[1][2][3][4]
In March 1973, Curl Curl was used on a hydrofoil service from Circular Quay to Gladesville, however, the service was short-lived due to river bank damage.[6]
The hydrofoils, along with the conventional Manly ferries, North Head, Baragoola, and South Steyne, were taken over by Brambles when it acquired the Port Jackson company. The hydrofoils were profitable for Brambles as they were leased rather than owned outright.[1] In 1974, the NSW State Government's Public Transport Commission took over the Manly ferry and hydrofoil services, and the hydrofoils were purchased from a finance company in 1975.[7]
In 1984/85, two 235-seat hydrofoils, Manly IV and Sydney entered service. The State Transit Authority replaced its remaining hydrofoils with three JetCats, with the last operating on 18 March 1991. The remaining vessels were sold for further service on the Mediterranean Sea.[2][3][8] Fairlight, Dee Why and Palm Beach were scrapped at Homebush Bay in 1988
