Lost Manly Maritime Moments Heritage Mugs Return of South Steyne 1993
Monumental Maritime Moments Mug – South Steyne Returns to Manly (1993)
Start your day with a splash of colour, history, and inspiration. This ceramic Monumental Maritime Moments mug celebrates the unforgettable return of the iconic ferry South Steyne to Manly in January 1993, beautifully captured in the Geoff Eastwood Maritime Photography Collection.
Featuring vibrant archival imagery, this mug honours the Queen of Sydney Harbour, first launched into service in April 1938 after sailing from Scotland by her own steam. Her triumphant return to Manly in 1993 was made even more memorable by her gallant escort, the Freshwater Class ferry MV Narrabeen — a vessel that, fittingly, has herself returned to service today after an unjust early retirement.
The MV Narrabeen first entered service on 5 May 1984 and, at barely 40 years old, had many years left to give. Following strong public opposition to her withdrawal — and a groundswell of community voices demanding common sense — she was proudly restored to Sydney Harbour, proving once again that heritage matters and people power works.
Enjoy your favourite cuppa while savouring the sweet taste of victory, nostalgia, and maritime pride. This mug is perfect for ferry enthusiasts, Manly locals, Sydney history lovers, and anyone who cherishes our working harbour icons.
