Lady Scott was built by J Dent of Jervis Bay. Similar to Lady Edeline, Lady Chelmsford, Lady Denman, and Lady Ferguson. Part of the Balmain New Ferry Company fleet until that company's takeover by Sydney Ferries Ltd in 1918. Converted to diesel power in the 1930s with a six-cylinder 190 hp Gardner diesel. With hull in need of maintenance, she was sold in 1969 and used as cruise ferry. While tied up at Rodd Island, she caught fire and burnt to the waterline on 6 November 1972. With her hull still sound, superstructure was rebuilt with new appearance as John Cadman cruising restaurant. This image forms part of the digitised photographs of the Ross and Pat Craig Collection. Ross Craig (1926-2012) was a local historian born in Stockton and dedicated much of his life promoting and conserving the history of Stockton, NSW.
