  • Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey Tells of the Era of “Leviathan”, a Cargo Vessel That Worked Between Fremantle and Mandurah
    Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey tells of the era of “Leviathan”, a cargo vessel that worked between Fremantle and Mandurah. Black Bess There would be only a handful of people in the township of Mandurah today who would remember the Leviathan. Most of them would remember her as “Black Bess” or just plain Wilson’s boat, but she and her builder deserve to take a place in the early history of Mandurah for it was the venture of an old man, helped by his two sons, who worked hard for many long hours, days, months and even years, barely existing at times for lack of money or even food, to accomplish a purpose. This was to provide for Mandurah a seagoing vessel to carry cargo to and from Fremantle and help put Mandurah on the map. Well do I remember the day when she was launched! The chocks were knocked from beneath her hull and with quite some persuasion she slid down into the creek barely deep enough for her to float. From the “big bridge” she looked immense. She must have been the biggest ship ever to be within the Mandurah bar. 3 PINJARRA Road Mandurah, Western Australia | T: (08) 9550 3681 | E: [email protected] Leviathan Continued Fremantle to Mandurah Before the Great War the only means of transport between Fremantle and Mandurah was by sea (cargo only) or rail to Pinjarra and then by horse and coach or some other form of horse transport to the township. The road to Fremantle was for the greater part a track through the sand, except for patches of stony outcrop for miles north of Mandurah.

The numbered pins on each page tell you what stop you should be at. Start at the Shipwreck Galleries, near the large anchor (pictured). Walk onto the lawn outside the Shipwreck Galleries so you have a good view of the Esplanade Park (but don’t actually go to the park). Start walking down Cliff Street, along the path on the left hand side. About halfway along Cliff Street, stop at the Samson Building. Continue along Cliff Street until you reach the corner of High Street. Stop here where you can see the Round House. If there is time, you can take a closer look at the Round House or the Tunnel. Continue up Cliff Street. At the end, cross Phillimore Street and stop at the Weighbridge (small red building). Turn back to look at the building on the corner of Cliff and Phillimore Streets. Take care when crossing the railway track and the roads and stand near a statue of a dog. Cross at the zebra crossing and continue down to the Western Australian Maritime Museum. 2 3 Let’s go back in time. Stand beside the anchor. Imagine this space 200 years ago. The original people of this area are called Whadjuk (pronounced wah-jook). The Whadjuk name for the Fremantle area is Walyalup (wal-yal-up) meaning ‘place of tears’.
