History

Captain Fell's Historic Ferries had a long history of operating ferries on the Derwent River. The owner of the Spirit of Hobart was Peter O'May,[1] a descendant of the original O'May Family that have been operating ferries on the Derwent River since 1863.[2][3]

The MV Emmalisa plied the waters of the Derwent River for 30 Years[4] for Historic Cruises/Ferries.

The business changed hands from Peter O'May to the LJ Family Trust in September 2013.

gollark: If the software updates are made on a different continent and you can apply them in less than about 50ms, you don't even need the time travel - just transmit them directly to your computer via a trans-crustal neutrino beam. Neutrinos travel only very slightly slower than light, and can take a more direct path because they don't interact much with matter, while the fibre-optic lines for internet traffic only let light go at 0.6c or something, and use less direct paths, and have routing overhead.
gollark: You did not specify that they were stolen from evil people, and possibly yes.
gollark: I'm not an EVILDOER!!!!!
gollark: See, it's important to download and install security patches as soon as possible to minimize the amount of time you go around with insecure software with vulnerabilities now known to everyone. But my internet connection is slow. So the solution is simple - download the software updates after release, then send them back in time to a few hours before release and apply them then.
gollark: The osmarks.tk closed timelike curve has a lot of spare capacity, we mostly use it to speed up software updates.
