Sydney K-class ferry, burned in 1911

Kaludah in Sydney Cove History Name Kaludah Operator Sydney Ferries Limited Builder Morrison and Sinclair, Balmain Cost £12,000[1] Launched 1908 as Kuranda[2] In service 1909 as Kaludah Out of service 22 March 1911 Fate Burnt out and sank General characteristics Class & type K-class double-ended ferry Tonnage 137 tons[clarification needed] Length 35.1 m (115 ft 2 in) Beam 7.6 m (24 ft 11 in) Installed power 50 hp (37 kW) triple expansion steam Propulsion Double-ended screw Speed 12 kn (22 km/h; 14 mph) Capacity 600 (est)[2]

***Kaludah*** (launched as ***Kuranda***) was a [K-class ferry](/source/Sydney_K-class_ferries) on [Sydney Harbour](/source/Sydney_Harbour), Australia. Commissioned in 1909, the timber-[hulled](/source/Hull_(watercraft)) steamer was built for [Sydney Ferries Limited](/source/Sydney_Ferries_Limited) during the boom in cross-harbour ferry travel prior to the 1932 opening of the [Sydney Harbour Bridge](/source/Sydney_Harbour_Bridge). Like the other "K-class" ferries, she was double-deck, double-ended, [steam-powered](/source/Steam_engine#Multiple_expansion_engines) [screw](/source/Propeller) ferry. However, she and the larger but otherwise similar *[Kookooburra](/source/Kookooburra)* (1907), were the only two K-class ferries designed by naval architect [Walter Reeks](/source/Walter_Reeks) and not Sydney Ferries Limited's Captain Summerbell.

*Kaludah* was built by [Morrison and Sinclair Limited](/source/Morrison_%26_Sinclair) of [Balmain](/source/Balmain%2C_New_South_Wales). She was launched in late 1908 as *Kuranda* and commissioned the following year and her name changed to *Kaludah*.

*Kaludah* burnt out and sank near [Gladesville](/source/Gladesville%2C_New_South_Wales) in 1911 when she was still the newest ferry in the Sydney Ferries Limited fleet.[3] She is one of the shortest lived of Sydney's ferries.

## Background, design and construction

*Kaludah* was built for [Sydney Ferries Limited](/source/Sydney_Ferries_Limited) during the early twentieth century boom in cross-Harbour travel prior to the 1932 opening of the [Sydney Harbour Bridge](/source/Sydney_Harbour_Bridge).[4] She was one of a broader type of timber [double-ended](/source/Ferry#Double-ended) [screw](/source/Propeller) ferries known as the [K-class](/source/Sydney_K-class_ferries). The company built 25 of these vessels between the 1890s and early 1920s to meet the booming demand. The K-class were all propelled by [triple expansion steam engines](/source/Triple_expansion_steam_engine) and, like *Kaludah*, were predominantly timber-hulled (four later K-class had steel hulls).[5]

*Kaludah's* design was similar to that of the Sydney Ferries Limited's larger 1907 steamer *[Kookooburra](/source/Kookooburra)*. The two ferries were a response to Sydney Ferries Limited's need for new vessels on the longer-distance [Parramatta River](/source/Parramatta_River) service and a ruling from the Maritime Services Board that from 1912, all vessels using Circular Quay must be of a double-ended nature because of congestion in the Quay. All the vessels operating on the Parramatta River service to that point were single-ended vessels.[6]

Rather than using Captain Summerbell who had designed Sydney Ferries Limited's deep draft, round-ended steamers, the company engaged renowned naval architect, [Walter Reeks](/source/Walter_Reeks), to design high speed, shallow draft vessels for the Parramatta River service. Reeks, who had designed the Balmain New Ferry Company ferries and also the Port Jackson Manly Steamship Company's *[Manly (II)](/source/SS_Manly)* and *[Kuring-gai](/source/SS_Kuring-gai)*, insisted on pointed bows for the ferries to achieve the speed necessary for the river. The company board had, to that point, a policy that all vessel bows were to be a rounded shape to give a tradition at a time when the Balmain New Ferry Company had pointed bows on their vessels (such as on the Lady class ferries).[6] Also unique among the 25 K-class ferries, *Kookooburra* and *Kaludah* were built with short funnels, with [forced draft](/source/Forced_draft), to pass under low bridges on Parramatta River service.[7][6]

*Kookooburra* did not perform well on the Parramatta River service creating too much wash which was the source of much resident complaints. She was later placed on the [Mosman](/source/Mosman), [Neutral Bay](/source/Neutral_Bay) and [Taronga Zoo](/source/Taronga_Zoo) services and a taller funnel provided.[6] With *Kaludah*, designed and built approximately two years after *Kookooburra*, Reeks was able to refine the design. *Kaludah* was a more successful boat, reaching speeds of up to 13 knots while creating minimal wash.[6] Sydney Ferries Limited did not build more pointed-bow ferries, continuing their rounded bow tradition until their final K-class ferries in the early 1920s.[6]

*Kaludah* was built of hardwood and [kauri](/source/Kauri) with bent frames. She had five bulk heads, four of which were iron.[2] The ladies cabin was lined with [Queensland maple](/source/Queensland_maple).[8] Chapman and Co installed the machinery which was imported from Campbell & Calderwood in Scotland. The [triple expansion steam engines](/source/Triple_expansion_steam_engine) had cylinders of diameter 12-inch, 20-inch, and 32.5 inch, with stroke length of 18-inches. She had two boilers each 18 feet long and 6 feet 9 inches in diameters with a working pressure of 180 lb.[2] Her engines produced 50 hp and propelled her to 12 knots.

## Service history

*Kaludah* was launched, and named as *Kuranda*, on 9 December 1908 by Miss Enid Russell.[2] The press at the time of the launch noted she was built for Sydney Ferry Limited's semi-sea service around [Middle Head](/source/Middle_Head).[2]

At 10pm on Christmas Eve 1908, the Balmain New Ferry Company ferry, *Lady Rawson*, struck heavily against Stephen Street wharf at Bald Rock, [Balmain](/source/Balmain%2C_New_South_Wales), and continued on colliding with the hull of ferry *Kuranda* that had been launched a few weeks before. *Lady Rawson* suffered considerable damage but completed her trip to Sydney.[9]

The ferry's use of the name *Kuranda* appears to have been short lived; a larger interstate steamer already carried the name.[10][11] In May 1909, "*Kaludah*" was reported to have been recently handed over to her new owners,[12] and a July 1909 Sydney Morning Herald article noted "The *Kaludah*, formerly *Kuranda*, commenced running in the Parramatta River service in May."[13]

## Fire

When she was still the newest vessel in the Sydney Ferries fleet, *Kaludah* caught fire at the [Gladesville](/source/Gladesville%2C_New_South_Wales) bridge wharf on 22 March 1911.[3] Burnt almost to the waterline, she was one of the shortest lived of any Sydney ferry. The night before the fire, the vessel had been moored to the Gladesville Bridge wharf after her final trip for the day. A deck hand slept aboard as usual. At 5.17 am, Andrew Adams, a passing tramway starter on a tram in Drummoyne Avenue [Drummoyne](/source/Drummoyne%2C_New_South_Wales) noticed flames issuing from the vessel about amidships. He and William Fisher, the night bridge-keeper, rushed down to the *Kaludah*.[3] The two called out waking the deckhand sleeping aboard. With flames preventing him leaving his cabin through the door, he climbed out a window and escaped onto the wharf along a rope.[14][3]

The fire burnt through the ferry's lines and she drifted downstream after which flames were reported to have broken out in several locations.[15] She was taken under tow by the fire boat *[Pluvius](/source/Pluvius_(1902))* which doused her with water. She burnt to the water line, and was beached at low tide in [Tarban Creek](/source/Tarban_Creek) near Villa Maria, being submerged on the high tide.[16][3]

## Enquiry

An enquiry into the incident was held at the City Coroner's Court during late March and early April 1911.[14] WG Todd, manager of Sydney Ferries Limited, represented the ferry company, while insurers, Norwich Union Insurance Company, who had insured the vessel for £9,000 were represented by Mr Rooke.[17]

The deckhand noted that the fire appeared to be coming from the stokehold and that subsequently there were two or three explosions in quick succession, apparently from the engine room. A witness suggested that the explosions may have been caused by the tank in the ladies saloon. Other witnesses said that it may have been emergency detonators kept on board.[14]

Sydney Ferries Limited's superintendent for the Parramatta River service said that the master of the ferry had ensured the boat was properly moored, the steam had been shut-off, the electric lighting turned off, and the fires had been banked. The deckhand reported that he saw to the removal of the ashes from the steamer.[14] A witness said there had previously been a small fire on *Kaludah* that had broken out under one of the boilers. It had caused minimal damage, but its cause was not known, and special instructions had since been given as a precaution against subsequent fire.[14]

The Coroner Hawkins closed the case without inspecting the vessel,[18] returning a verdict confirming that *Kaludah* was totally destroyed by fire but was unable to confirm the cause of the fire, either accidental or otherwise.[18] The insurer noted they were satisfied the fire was accidental.[1]

## Salvage and *Kamiri*

*[Kamiri](/source/Kamiri)*, shown in the year of her launch (1912), took *Kaludah's* refurbished engines and [dynamo](/source/Dynamo). Some reports say *Kamiri* also took *Kaludah's* remaining timbers, while others say *Kamiri* was built on the remains of *Kaludah's* hull

*Kaludah* was raised on 4 April 1911 by Einerson Bros of Balmain using a series of lighters and towed to Kerosene Bay in North Sydney.[19][20] It had taken two weeks preparatory work before the raising, with a failed attempt on 2 April before the successful attempt two days later.[21]

The hull was sold in-situ at Kerosene Bay by auction on 16 May 1911 by Frazer Uther & Co to Einerson Bros for £40.[22] The engine and [dynamo](/source/Dynamo) were used in Sydney Ferries Limited's next new ferry, *[Kamiri](/source/Kamiri)*, which was a more conventional version of a K-class ferry.[23] Press at the time of *Kamiri's* 1912 launch and construction, noted that she was intended to replace *Kaludah* on the Parramatta River service and that she was built from *Kaludah's* plans.[23][24][25][26][27] In subsequent years, reports described closer links between *Kaludah* and *Kamiri*. A 1919 report on the Royal Commission into Sydney ferries stated that the burnt out *Kaludah* was rebuilt and renamed *Kamiri*,[28][29] while Graeme Andrews (1994) recounts a story from a shipwright involved in the construction of both *Kaludah* and *Kamiri*, whereby the shipwright said he found tools engraved "Kaludah" inside *Kamiri's* hull.[30]
