The
paddle steamer Herald was built in Govan by Randolph, Elder &
Company in 1854, and sent in pieces to
Australia where she was assembled in 1855. She operated in
various roles as both a ferry and a tug boat. 1. April
1884 while she laid at anchor outside Sydney, the steam
boiler exploded and ripped her hull open. She disappeared
in the deep soon after. The wreck was located in
2013, and rest today on a depth of 25 meter outside North
Head in Sydney harbor.
