I would love you to join me, Captain Dave, as we explore the incredible maritime history of Fremantle. It is quite unique that a commercial port is still operating at its original inner-city location and I, as a working marine pilot in the port have intimate knowledge of the workings and history of the port. Fremantle is a true 'port city' and its maritime history is at the heart of what makes this town truly unique. Fremantle is home to two of Australia's great maritime museums. The spectacular WA Maritime Museum (which has been dubbed Fremantle's Sydney Opera House!) contains the fully rigged yacht Australia II that won the America's Cup trophy in 1983. The WA Shipwrecks Museum has been described as one of the best maritime archeological museums in the world. It tells the story of the many Dutch East India Company ships wrecked on the west coast in the 17th and 18th centuries. So join me, Captain Dave, as I share my passion for the rich maritime history of Fremantle!
The tour will begin at the entrance to the Western Australian Maritime Museum overlooking the entrance to the Fremantle Inner Harbour. As a working marine pilot in the Port, I will explain the workings and history of this unique location. We will then see: - Highlights of the WA Maritime Museum, including the fully rigged America's Cup yacht Australia II. - The Round House, WA's oldest building overlooking the landing site of the first European settlers in 1829. - Whalers tunnel. - Remnants of Fremantle's first port at Bathers Beach. - Highlights of the WA Shipwrecks Museum, including part of the hull of the Dutch East India Company flagship Batavia wrecked on the west coast in 1629. - Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour, including the statue of AC/DC front man Bon Scott, a Fremantle local. The tour will finish with a drink at the iconic Little Creatures pub brewery overlooking the Fishing Boat Harbour.
