SYDNEY - A large-scale search of Sydney Harbour will resume today for Brisbane schoolgirl Morgan Innes, who has been missing since Wednesday night's horrific ferry collision.
There's been no trace of the 14-year-old champion ice skater since a collision between a HarbourCat ferry and a private cruiser under
Sydney Harbour Bridge just before 11pm (AEST).
The Island Gypsy motor cruiser had been carrying a dozen members of Australia's skating community on a sightseeing tour of the harbour.
Three people, including NSW Ice Skating Association (NSW ISA) president Alan Blinn, 47, and Simone Moore, 44, who is also involved with the NSW ISA, were killed.
Police are yet to formally identify the third person who died - a 45-year-old Frenchs Forest man.
Eight others were injured, including former Olympic skater Liz Cain, who had a leg severed in the accident.
She remained in a serious but stable condition in intensive care overnight, after undergoing emergency surgery.
A 70-year-old woman remained in a serious but stable condition in hospital, while a 56-year-old woman is still listed as critical but stable.
Five other people have been released from hospital.
Two police boats were continuing to scour the harbour for 14-year-old Morgan overnight, before the full-scale search involving police vessels, divers and Polair was to resume at first light this morning.
The area being searched extends from Balls Head near Waverton, across to Bradleys Head at Mosman and south of those points.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said there was still hope of finding Morgan.
"Until you actually find somebody there is always some hope, and we have to maintain that as much for the family as anything else," she said.
