The island party boat history

In the '60s, before the demise of Brisbane ship building firm Evans Deacon, the company launched some impressive ships and a lesser vessel commissioned by City Council that seemed unlikely to make a big impression. The vehicular ferry, a floating carpark, was called 'Sir James Holt' ferry, after the designer of our Story Bridge. It plied the waters of Murrarie until 20 years ago, when the Gateway Bridge made the old girl redundant. Some enterprising types decided she had the makings of a party boat. Renamed 'The Island party boat', it's become part of the hospitality scene cruising the Brisbane River.
