	'Mary' - The steam ferry service to Penarth in 1860 was run by the Cardiff Steam Navigation Company of Bute Docks, Cardiff.

1861 - Notes from the Docks - 'The Mary steam ferry is also brought into dock for repairs, and considering it is now winter time and few people traveling to Penarth, coupled also with heavy dock dues, it would perhaps be more profitable to lay her up until the summer, or until the dock dues are reduced, for at present her expenses must be considerably more than her earnings.' - Cardiff Times [019] [361] 4th January 1861.

It seems the 'Mary' was back in service since there was an advertisement for her published on 26th January 1861. [156] [361]
