[Sydney Ferries is a statutory authority of the New South Wales Government, operating a fleet of 28 ferries and providing commuter ferry services on Sydney Harbour and the Parramatta River in Sydney, Australia. The earliest known ferry to operate on Port Jackson was The Rose Hill Packet (commonly known as "The Lump") which was built in 1789, and ran to Parramatta. This and other small boats carried cargo and passengers across the harbour and its estuaries. Sydney Ferries started life as a private sector company. In 1861, the North Shore Ferry Company was formed operating a ferry service across Sydney Harbour. The company was restructured and the name was changed to the North Shore Ferry Company in 1878. In 1899, after a series of mergers, the company was renamed Sydney Ferries Limited. At one point, Sydney Ferries Limited was the largest operator of ferries on the world. In 1951, Sydney Ferries Limited was facing financial difficulties, and on 1 July 1951 the company was acquired by the New South Wales Government. Meanwhile, up until 1972, the Manly ferry service had been operated independently by the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company, a publicly listed company on the Sydney Stock Exchange. On 19 April 1972, the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company was acquired by Brambles Industries Limited. Following a threat by Brambles to reduce the Manly ferry services, the New South Wales Government arranged for the Public Transport Commission to take over the service as from 1 December 1974. The Public Transport Commission later became the Urban Transit Authority of New South Wales, and then the State Transit Authority. In 2004, the Sydney Ferries Corporation was formed out of the State Transit Authority. In December 2008, the state owned corporation reverted to a statutory authority.]
