An expression of interest process facilitating the sale of eight wooden ferries has closed marking the end of another era on the Brisbane River.
About 20 people a day inspected the former City Hopper and cross-river ferry vessels while they were displayed at The Yard in Hemmant between Tuesday and yesterday.
Ranging in age from 30-38 years, Koopa, Bulimba, Gayundah, Mermaid, Doomba, Otter, Lucinda and John Oxley were put up for sale after Brisbane City Council dumped plans to refurbish them.
A $300 million flood recovery and rebuild program was prioritised instead.
