Manly (II) was a ferry that served on the Sydney to Manly run from 1896 to 1924.
Designed by renowned naval architect Walter Reeks, Manly was the first double-ended screw ferry on the Manly run. She, along with Kuring-gai (1901), were the archetypes for the long run of Manly ferries for most of the twentieth century.
