    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 refinery is sited at the foot of the Darling Scarp on approximately 6,772 hectares of freehold land which incorporates the refinery footprint, the residue storage area and surrounding farmlands. • The refinery implements a wide range of world-leading technologies that continuously improve production and environmental performance. In 2019, new residue filtration technology was commissioned which reduces land use and increases water recovery. Economic • Approximately 1,100 employees and 270 contractors work at the refinery, with an estimated 60 per cent of Impact employees living in the local Pinjarra and Mandurah communities. • In 2019, 86 per cent of Alcoa Australia’s annual revenue stayed in Australia through wages, local purchasing, taxes, royalties and dividends to Australian shareholders. o Our Australian operations combined injected AU$1.1 billion into Australia’s local, state and federal governments through the payment of royalties, taxes, rates and charges. o Our WA operations injected approximately AU$617 million into the local community through direct salaries, wages and benefits and AU$1.5 billion in WA supply contracts.

    Silvina Lanyon: One Woman's Enterprise in Mandurah: Theatres

    Silvina Ruby Hannah Lanyon Silvina Lanyon: One Woman’s Enterprise in Mandurah: Theatres and Entertainment –1920s – 1940s Background In a time where theatres, dancing halls and moving pictures were available in the early 1900s, a lady of unusual and exemplary character came to her peak as an entrepreneur in a small town south of Perth. Her name was Silvina Ruby Hannah Lanyon, and that town was Mandurah. Silvina Ruby Lanyon left a legacy to her descendants in the form of a vibrant history of her achievements in business, her love of Art and her commitment to community and social activities. Silvina was born in Herberton Queensland in 1883 to parents Mary and William Rowe. At the age of 17 years, Silvina married James Caddy Lanyon aged 19 years at Cobar, N.S.W in 1900. James Caddy Lanyon was born in Ballarat to a mining family and with this background, he and Silvina, with other members of their family migrated to the Western Australian Goldfields. 3 PINJARRA Road Mandurah, Western Australia | T: (08) 9550 3681 | E: [email protected] Silvina Lanyon cont’d Silvina started to show her skills as a business woman early in her married life. During 1905 and 1906 James and Silvina (as proprietress) advertised in the local paper of the availability of rooms and dining situated opposite the railway station in “Murrin Murrin”. James worked for the Golden Gate mine and then with the Western Australian Government Railways until his enlistment in 1916 for WW1, and registered at Guildford. In Midland Silvina operated a confectionary and fruit stall while waiting for her husband’s return from the war.
