Description: Ex ferry Westhead
The Little Gem (originally named the "Westhead" when built in 1947 by Port Jackson Steamship Co Ltd) is a classic and romantic style of boat! In NSW she plied the Hawkebury on the mail run; in Melbourne she charmed party goers and tourists alike with her old world ambience!
She is ready for a new life - as a pretty livaboard or a commercial party animal. She has a steady heartbeat thanks to her refurbished Gardner engine.
