Summary

Colley's boatshed is in the foreground with the ferry Kirawa at Mosman wharf.
Bill Saunders operated a boat hiring business on the site of Colley's boatshed from the 1870's. Bert Colley, having worked there since 1882, took over the business and tended sailing craft in Mosman Bay until his retirement in 1947.

Kirawa was one of two identical sister ships - the other being Kanangra. By the early 1950's the two sisters were the largest inner harbour ferries still in regular use.
