History[]

Kurraba arrives at the Edwardian era wharf, early twentieth century

The first regular ferry service was arranged by property developer in the early 1870s. A tram service to the wharf commenced in March 1897. At the same and in anticipation of increased demand from a developing and increasingly prosperous Mosman area, Sydney Ferries Limited improved frequency of ferries from Circular Quay. In addition to Mosman Wharf, ferries on that route serviced Musgrave Street Wharf (now South Mosman) and Cremorne Wharf (renamed Old Cremorne) with the opening of the Cremorne Point wharf and its tram connection in 1911.

In 1900, Sydney Ferries Limited acquired a freehold over then wharf and completed a significant Edwardian-style expansion providing a new wharf, waiting rooms and shops.[3][4]

On 26 March 2014, the wharf was closed for to replace the pontoon and gangway whilst the existing waterside structure was refurbished.[5][6]
