Suda Bay (ship)

Suda Bay (ship)

The "Suda Bay" was a 14.3 ton motor boat that was one of the first boats used for a commercial tourist operation in the Houtman Abrolhos.

Between 1946 and 1948, the "Suda Bay" and "Batavia Road" were used by Dal Gaze and Alan Fox to transport tourists to and from the Houtman Abrolhos, especially Pelsaert Island. This represents the first known commercial tourist operation in the Houtman Abrolhos.cite paper | title = Sustainable Tourism Plan for the Abrolhos Islands | version = Fisheries Management Paper | location = Perth, Western Australia | publisher = Fisheries Western Australia | year = 2001 | url = http://fish.wa.gov.au/docs/mp/mp146/fmp146.pdf | accessdate = 2007-11-17]

In 1948, the partnership between Gaze and Fox broke up, and thereafter Fox used the "Suda Bay" for lobster fishing in the vicinity of North Island. A channel through the reefs just north of the island is today named Suda Bay Passage.Gazetteer of Australia | name = Suda Bay Passage | id = 281593]
