1940s Manly Ferry Travel Poster

Featuring the South Steyne ferry approaching Manly Wharf, this artwork is based on the classic mid-century travel poster painting by John Alcott for the Port Jackson & Manly Steamship Company.

Originally designed to promote travel to Manly by ferry from Circular Quay, the poster captures the optimism and coastal glamour of mid-century Sydney tourism.

Lovingly restored and enhanced, the artwork celebrates one of Manly’s most recognisable symbols — the Manly ferry.
