A Ferry Naming
Sydney is getting six new catamaran inner harbour ferries. Controversially they replace the last traditional "Lady Class" ferries. With one exception they are being named after Sydney residents who contributed to the city. The last was to be eponymously called "Ian Kiernan", after a man who for many years has promoted and organized clean ups of harbour, rivers and creeks to remove accumulated rubbish and debris. He lost out to "Ferry Mc Ferry Face". I suspect this naming may yet revert. Marine Unions say they will refuse to operate the vessel. Ian Kiernan deserves on water recognition, Mr. Mc Ferry does not.
