After all I've blogged about the adorable Sydney ferries, somehow it utterly escaped my notice that they're named after the ships of the First Fleet (the aptly named set of ships that were the first to come to Sydney from England in terms of settlement). If I've listed the ferries correctly, they represent 9 of the original 11 (missing The Lady Penrhyn and The Prince of Wales).
They include all my favorites*:
Sirius
Supply
Fishburn
Scarborough
Friendship
Borrowdale
Golden Grove
Alexander
Charlotte
*Listed in order of my favorites, at least today :)

The Sirius and The Supply were the supply ships of the first fleet.
Favorite boat itself, or favorite in name only?
