About MV Bellubera
Bellubera was a ferry operated by the Port Jackson & Manly Steamship Company on the Manly service. Launched in 1910, she was the third of six "Binngarra-type" vessels. Upon her 1936 conversion from steam power, she became the first diesel-electric vessel in Australia. She was decommissioned in 1973, and scuttled at sea in 1980. Due to many misfortunes in her 63-year service life, she was nicknamed the "Hoodoo Ship". Two of her masters died at the wheel, two crew members died when she was gutted by fire in 1936, and the owner of a motor launch was killed when Bellubera ran it down and sank her. The name "bellubera" is thought to be an Australian Aboriginal word meaning "pretty lady" or "beautiful woman".
